Hi Guys, I have a question and hope you can help clearing this up. I have a Synology DS214se NAS with 2 x 1 TB WD Red harddisks. I made a pool for the 2 disks as JBOD so I have 2TB storage space. Via Hyper-Backup it's being backupped to elsewhere. 

I mapped the NAS in windows 10 but when I take a look I only see 1TB instead of 2TB. Is there anything I did wrong, forget a setting...? 

I hope you guys can help, thank you very much for your time!

Yea that looks normal, You have 2 1tb volumes and only one is shared.

 

Try making raid raid 0 if you want to see all 2tb in one volume.

From that screenshot, you created 2 Volumes. Volume 1 is just a disk, and Volume 2 is a 1 disk JBOD. 

In Storage Manager you should have gone through the setup wizard, and selected both disks and set RAID type as "JBOD"....

 

Something like this....

I am making a backup of the data to do what Jarsky adviced, guess I didn't select both drives on initial setup. Gonna do that and post result later. 2 and half hours of copying to go :)

After backing up the data from the NAS, I made a new storage pool based on Jarsky's advice and this did the trick! Mapped network drive shows 1.8 TB available. Big thanks to everyone who responded to my topic! And thanks Jarsky for the solution :) Topic can be closed
