I just setup my system a few days ago with 2-500G drives. I had ~367G of data which I copied from my existing machine to Drive-0 on the NAS. The Server Storage page in the web status system is reporting that the disk contains ~402G of data. I ran DiskInventoryX on the drive and it reported that the drive contains only about 367G of data. What is up with the status page? Is this a bug? Is it related to some cluster or sector size issue? How do I find out how much space is really left on the drive?

I have noticed this as well. I have 4 250GB in raid 5 - in therory I should have had 750GB of storage. NASLite shows 687.7GB capacity on Disk-0 however the properties in windows of that drive it shows a capacity of 738GB.

The reason is difference in block size. I assume you have a bunch of small files on the nas share. The difference between the used space according to Naslite and the numbers you get when you run your DiskInventory app is the difference between the actual space occupied on the drive compared to the actual size of the files themselves.

If you are interested in how much nas space you are using, then you go by the nas status and not what windows reports.
