Edit: I should have done the conversion myself before I wrote up this long post. 12 TB = 10.9 TiB which is a pretty large disparity. I remember being pissed off when losing 80 GB out of a 1 TB drive sucked, now I'm losing 1.1 TB!
I purchased 3x4 TB HGST HDDs (but had to return two of them because they were DOA) and I used the working one to replace a 3 TB drive in my pair (3 TB and 4 TB, 2x4 TB, 2x1 TB, 2x3 TB ) and it seems like I'm missing 2 TB worth of space. I have a total of 10 TB of useful space in my pool
But according to the size of these drives I should theoretically have 12 TB. Am I missing 2 TB because of the decimal to binary conversion or because this mirrored pair was previously 3 TB (one 4 TB drive, one 3 TB drive) so when it resilvered it only used 3 TB?
