My latest Bluray rips are now 50GB+ w/4K and DTS/HD each, so my needs have increased. Currently my "MediaStorm" is 30TB. Just purchased a Syn1621+ w/20TB Seagate IronWolf Pro, 32G RAM w/2TBx2 NVME. SYN/DSM only recognizes a little under 90T, assuming this is bc the 20's are not yet verified>? I would expect a single disk loss w/RAID5, yielding 5x20T or 100T of usable capacity, I get ~87TB, is this due to DSM? I like the Synology HW, so can i remove DSM and just use FreeNAS or other to get back my 10+ TB? Prior to building my storage pools, docker apps etc, I need to have a good start, and losing 10+ TB from the start doesn't seem right. When will 20TB disks be valid/ verified? There are less than a handful out there, so I can't imagine the SYN team is that busy testing new storage gear, esp if the unit is a "storage" unit, and not just a multi-core server to stack apps on. Looking or a higher yield on my 6x20 base, what to do?";}
