Mine says 12.7 to. is that normal for a 14tb drive after formated?

Quote from MadPup :
1TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes (terabyte = 1000^4)
1TiB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (tebibyte = 1024^4)
1TB/1TiB = 0.9095 tebibytes per terabyte
14TB * 0.9095 = 12.73 TiB

Quote from pnguye70 :
Windows, however, sticks to the 1024 rule, which means it sees a 250GB hard drive as 232GB, and a 1TB drive as 931GB.This explains why hard drives appear to have a lower capacity than advertised.A 1TB hard drive has the capacity to store 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Divide this by 1024 and you get 976,562,500KB. Divide by 1024 again and you get 953,674.3MB. Finally, divide by 1024 to get gigabytes and you end up with 931.32GB and so similar way you can calculate the process of 1 MB and 1024kb.

You can also use CrystalDiskInfo to confirm the disk model and capacity.

SHR always uses one drive with the largest capacity for parity, so putting one 14TB in won't get you anything more than what the Synology has now. You will want to buy at least two 14TB drives. Replace one drive, wait for SHR to rebuild, then repeat with the other new drive. You will end up with 2TB more than current. If you were to replace all four 12TB drives, you would end up with 6TB more than current.
The golden question, what's inside?

Extended returns in effect if you're on the fence.


Purchases made October 13, 2020 through January 2, 2021 have an extended return period through January 16, 2021
These won't get lower. BB does this every year, they offer the BF pricing a few weeks ahead of BF and then again at BF. I buy their BF special drives every year and upgrade both my servers and sell off the drives from the year before. It's the exact same scenario every time. This year it's the 14TB. Last year was the 12TB, 10 before that and 8 before that.

Quote from SeriousCrown293 :
How do you power this off? Unplug the power source?
Install the software that is already on the device. Clearly marked "Install Discovery for Windows.exe". Once you do that, it'll be in your task bar and allow you to "Eject" the hard drive to be able to remove it/unplug it safely.

Picked one up, delivered the other day. Inside is a white label WD140EDFZ drive that required covering pin 3 or using a molex power adapter to power up if you shuck it (remove from the case).

I'm too lazy to read through 50 pages to see if anyone already said as much.
Actually, someone earlier said that WD140EDFZ was a "normal drive" and I assume that meant it wouldn't require covering any pins. I know nothing about covering any pins, so I guess I need to read up about that and the molex thing. Yikes, I'm trying to avoid doing a bunch of things that I'm not skilled in.
