RAID Capacity Calculator

Estimate usable capacity and drive-failure tolerance.

RAID Capacity Calculator

Estimate usable capacity and drive-failure tolerance.

How this tool works

Assumes equal-sized disks and common conventional RAID layouts. Capacity is estimated before filesystem metadata and implementation-specific overhead. RAID is not a backup.

Worked example

Four 2 TB drives in RAID 5 yield approximately 6 TB before formatting.

Always verify outputs before changing production systems. These tools are for learning, planning, and troubleshooting.
