A: So I can't see which product you asked the question on only that it's similar to the product I purchased. So If the unit has 2x2TB drives in RAID 1 you get just under 2 TB of usable space. If you configure them in RAID 0 you would get about 4 TB of space. So if the information says you have 2 TB of space in RAID 1 it means both drives are 2 TB and they are just mirroring. I hope that helps.
A: It is a NAS but shares are not allocated on a device basis but to users. You can map the volume on multiple network computers. Shares, unfortunately, cannot be size-limited and you can create folders but their content depends on user discipline.
