Does the DH71T version (256 gb raid 0) really have 256 gb of storage or 128 gb? (since its 2x128). thanks!

The short answer is yes. My C drive shows 95.3 GB and the D drive shows 121 GB.

From the description, this system offers only raid 0. Therefore, the 4TB version gives you 4TB of storage.

SHR is more flexible, if you want to upgrade to larger drives later. No downside -- you're locked into the technology once you but the DiskStation, so you may was well leverage the proprietary RAID

Wow, at 2terrabyte why is that even an issue?? I have no idea.. Just use a huge external hard drive and it should be almost limitless. All I know is that 2tb seems like plenty, at least for me. In four years of many photos, I didn't even fill 250gig on my laptop that was my main computer at the time. I do like this all in one, tho it isn't quite as fast as I had hoped it would be. And I prefer the Windows seven side to the childish eight side. Love the large screen. Overall..I would recommend it..the storage should be plenty especially for a home computer.

I bought mine a few months ago and it came with a 1TB but there are different versions (different GPU, processor etc.).

They did not mean 12TB per bay, they meant 12TB total. Their claim of the unit's capacity was based on the hard drives available at the time.When this unit was released, the largest available hard drive was 3TB, so they claimed that the unit's capacity was 12TB (4 x 3). It can handle 4TB drives for sure. I suspect that Vantec's claim that it can handle 8TB (and likely 6TB) drives is true.

This listing is for 1 256GB (GIGA BYTE) drive. The one answer is correct and it is 1/4 of a Terra Byte. Please check conditional notes. Some people are selling 128GB under this listing.

I do not know the direct answer to your question.If RAID is of no importance to you, why not simply buy an external drive for supplemental storage or for backup?I use RAID for its data redundancy.If that is of no importance, why bother with a RAID enabled device?Cheaper and high quality alternatives exist.

The description does say the unit is "2TB". That is the TOTAL of the two drives, so they are 1TB each. You will have 2TB usable storage in RAID 0 mode (performance), or 1TB usable in RAID 1 mode (mirroring/backup).

First, The drives are sata. Second, The drives do not have to be the same size if you are not mirroring them (RAID 1). The drives can be setup as individual drives or as combined drives ( Drive 1 = 500 GB, Drive 2 = 1000 GB. Combined drive 1500 GB).

I have one and it is 256bit, I am also getting another and it also says 256. Hope that helps

Same here: 750GB x 2. They're also not RAID 0, so you don't have one drive with 1.5TB, but rather a 750GB C: drive and a 750GB D: drive.

according to the datasheet, it looks like only 3TB drives in each bay are supported.http://www.lenovo.com/shop/emea/content/pdf/Storage/Product%20Release%20Information%20(PRI)/PRI_Lenovo_Iomega_ix2_2bay_EN.pdfLenovo looks to only offer them in 3TB single disk sizes as well; for a total of 6TB in RAID0.http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/servers/network-storage/lenovoemc/ix2/#customize

It is a typo. The Hard drive, or more specifically the Solid State Drive, is 256 Gb total as the other two answers state.

I just finished installing this 1TB and it worked like a charm... 828GB free out of 931GB. I'll update this if any thing changes...

I just bought the 500 Gb Version and the Fan noise immediately kicked in. I discovered that by simply placing a cloth or (mouse or rubber)pad underneath the unit, its noise is canceled out. Do you know if the 1TB drive is That much louder than the 500 Gb? Thanks.

yes, I have two of these boxes, & I I either raid 0 or leave it at the default which is JBOD.right now, I buy a lot of Seagate Barracuda 4 terabyte drives, and put them in and out of these boxes per my various jobs. I work off of the one box that I have at 16 terabytes raid 0, & I back up to the JBOD single drives. it all works fine, & I configure everything using Disk Utility.
