This contains two 8TB WD Red drives. Best Buy sells these or you can look them up on the Western Digital page for specs. Formatted with Raid-0 my computer shows there is 7.99TB of usable storage. The amount of "unusable" storage on drives is constant and not dependent on the total size of the drive. It is a couple of megabytes; so as drives have moved into the multiple terabytes the "unusable" amount has shrunk to an insignificant percentage of the total.

If not mirrored, about 15tb, I think...not sure, but you never get the full amount space advertsed. I changed from the default to mirrored. Don't know the speed, but works great for my needs. Fast enough for file storage/retrieval, daily office use, and makes double copies to help prevent file loss. Theoretically, if mirrored and one of the drives fails, a copy of everything is still on the other drive. Maybe a good idea.

It’s super-fast with up to 360MB/s sequential read speeds thanks to WD Red drives inside and use of the USB Type-C port. That USB Type-C port with all cables included makes it universally compatible (supports USB 3.1 Gen 1/3.0/2.0). Two USB Type-A hub ports deliver flexibility for additional accessories.
