Hi there, I have a Synology rs814+ NAS and I need to upgrade all drives in the system because they are getting old. I have tried to find out what restrictions there are on the NAS and i have found a datasheet specifying that the max. internal capacity is 20TB spread out over 4 slots. however it also states: "The actual capacity will differ according to volume types". We are using Synologys hybrid raid and since the storage capacity is limited by the smallest drive, does this mean that I can install above 5TB pr. slot or am i still limited by the total volume of the installed drives

Im very new to this and therefore dont know what im doing, sorry.
