Hi,
I have read that the maximum volume capacity is 16TB. Does that mean that if I buy 4x8TB disks, I won't be able to use them in RAID 5 configuration (resulting in 24TB of disk space)? How can I utilize all the space (preferably with RAID 5)?

    You can create more than one volume, each spanning your 4 disks. But the usefulness of raid is considerably overestimated.
