I am hoping someone can help I have a pc which I have made into a Media Server Running Freenas and it works really well anyway I have just added 2 more HDD's to the system, so I now have 2 500GB drives and 2 1.5TB Drive, I have configured it into a raid 5. my problem is that the total space is 4TB but it is only giving me 1.3TB of usable space, Am I wrong in thinking that it should not need to use 2.7TB for Rundentcy, I thought I would of had at least 2TB or usable space. Or will I need 4 identical drives, hope someone can help

Unfortunatly Freenas doesnt support Raid 6 at this time not sure it ever will, it is the only os I have found which is free and has UPNP support, I was going to use Ubuntu and use Mediatomb but I found configuring the disks to be a pain in the ass maybe it might have something to do with the fact that I dont know linux a great deal! lol also the drives are in a software raid I dont have a raid controller, thanks for your help :-)
