    Understanding Storage Spaces capacity descriptions

    I have a Storage Spaces array in Windows 10 consisting of 7 SATA HDDs ranging from 3TB -> 8TB each (-edit- for completeness, those drive capacities are: {3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 8, 8}).

    I'm trying to understand the Storage Spaces capacity values, shown below:


    Storage Capacity IuI6y.png


    The section above the drive Name & Letter makes sense in isolation:

    • 15 TB
      • defined size, with thin provisioning allowing it to exceed actual
        available capacity
    • Using 14.6 TB pool capacity
      • the actual available configured capacity

    And the 31.8 TB "Total pool capacity" makes complete sense as the sum of the actual disk capacity from each drive.

    But...

    1. Why is only 14.6 available?
      • I've defined my size as 15 TB
      • It says I have 17.2 TB available
    2. What's the relationship here of the 22.5 TB "Including resiliency"?
    3. What is my actual real max configurable usable capacity?
      • I expected to have around 20 TB (66% of 32) - so I'm guessing it's actually only 17.2, but then see question #1

    Total Storage Capacity

    I had recently changed users on my laptop, and deleted the first (owner) user account and noticed that the full storage capacity of my laptop was cut in half. I was wondering if there was any way to reclaim the full storage capacity. Thanks.

    Storage Capacity

    Blu-Ray Capacity Increased.

    every step counts but not all are that memorable. eventually we will be cranking out 3 times the res of 1080p and we will need that kind of portable storage capacity.
