I'm experiencing an issue while creating a RAID-10 volume with Intel's RST RAID. I have 4x 500 GB Samsung 850 Evo's that I'm planning to put in a RAID-10 Volume.
When I go to create the volume, it's telling me that the maximum capacity is 884.9 GB. It states that "The default value indicates the maximum capacity using the selected disks."
However, each of the disks show up as being 465.7 GB on the home screen, so theoretically, wouldn't the RAID-10 size be 931.4 GB instead of 884.9 GB?
Interesting thing is, I can create a volume of size 931.4 GB successfully:
However, the second I try to create a volume of size 932 GB, I will get this error:
Does anyone know if it's "safe" to use the volume that is 931 GB? It's over the default "maximum" capacity of the volume, so I don't want to take any risks with data corruption, etc.
Additionally, does anyone know why the "maximum" capacity really isn't the maximum? How is this calculated?
