I did set it to "faster" yeah. It's not slower than expected, it's just novel to me how long it takes lol.

You're right about storage space but I'm not sure why yet. Some of it will be Btrfs overhead according to web searches. This NAS model I think has some limitation of 108 TiB max pool size, but I'm below that so...idk yet. Plus others said that limitation was if you were on stock 4 gigs of RAM. Mine has 32, it's doing more than just storing files but it's still over kill. Was just on steep discount.

Maybe I'll be able to expand the volume again once it's done the final scrubbing?

That's strange, but none of that should matter. I'm getting the exact value from the raid calculator:

And I'm actually hitting the 108 TB limit, but that's only for the volume, the storage pool can be larger. I've also upgraded my RAM.

Okay huh. I'll report back if anything interesting comes up once it's done.

edit: it worked itself out, nothing interesting haha:
