What the bundle contains
Capacity and redundancy
The eight-drive pool can continue after two drives fail; this is availability, not high availability or an off-site backup.
Approximation: $(8 - 2) × 16TB = 96TB$. Filesystem formatting, system partitions, snapshots, and RAID implementation reduce displayed free space.
