| Bofferbrauer2 said: Just how many drives did you JBOD or RAID together to get to 22TB? Also, how can it use up 22GB more space than it has??? |
It's a WD MyBook Duo 28TB (which includes 2 x WD Red 14 TB in Raid 0).
Total capacity is 28 TeraByte (28 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 Bytes), shown in Windows as 25.4 TebiByte (25.4 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024) or 26000 GebiByte (26000 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024).
The 21552 GB ain't the total capacity but the filesizes added up, the 21574 GB is the space needed due to the file structure. So the 22 GB difference are from blocks only partly filled.
Additionally to that used storage, there is also 5 TeraByte / 4.6 TebiByte free space for additional games:
Pretty fast for a HDD solution (300 - 400 MB/s sequential, depending on the position of the data)... good enough for most of my games. And if I want some of the currently played games on one of my SSDs, it is only a matter of a few minutes to copy them... much faster than redownloading them and patching them through again.
