[SOLVED] 2 hard drives showing as a single drive

[wolffparkinson]

I have a 2TB and a 1.5TB HDD, which I have been using as a spanned volumes for 3 years now. I want to UNSPAN them, so I followed the guide on Microsoft website and deleted all the and volumes on the Dynamic Disk and converted back to Basic.
The issue is now the drive is being displayed as a single drive of 3.5TB.

What is even more strange is that it is showing the disk as Basic, but New Spanned Volume (and other Dynamic Disk options) are still available.

Can you show screenshot from Device Manager (disk drives section expanded) and
screenshot from Windows Storage Spaces?

1.5TB and 2TB drive total capacity would be 3260GB.
You have either 2x2TB or one 4TB drives.

ST2000DM001 - Seagate 2TB - this one has failed.
ST4000DM004 - Seagate 4TB - this one seems to be ok.

There are no 1.5TB drives in your pc.

Thanks a lot, it was indeed the case. I still can't recall at what point of time I bought a 4TB one, but it is what it is. RIP my collections in 2TB HDD.
