Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hi there folks, I followed the Disk Management instructions from this site: https://www.guidingtech.com/4-best-ways-to-configure-raid-1-on-windows-11/ to configure my RAID1 array of 2 x 20 TB Enterprise HDDs (internal) on my new Desktop Tower PC, Windows 11.

However, when I go to 'This PC' and click on the new volume D drive, it's showing a total of about 40TBs. Because it's mirrored drives, shouldn't I only see 20 TB of available space because of the redundancy?

I'm a little confused how this works and if I set it up correctly.

Please advise, thanks!

That's definitely wrong. Its likely setup as RAID0 or JBOD
