RAID 6 Array: RAID 6 uses double parity for data protection, which means two disks' worth of capacity is used for parity information.
Capacity Calculation: In a RAID 6 array with four disks, each 200 GB, the usable data storage capacity is calculated as follows:Total Disk Capacity=4×200 GB=800 GBTotal Disk Capacity=4×200 GB=800 GBUsable Capacity=Total Disk Capacity−Parity Disk Capacity=800 GB−2×200 GB=400 GBUsable Capacity=Total Disk Capacity−Parity Disk Capacity=800 GB−2×200 GB=400 GB
