Hi<br />
<br />
First this is local Storage, yes?<br />
<br />
If you multiple you 68.30Gb by 2 you get the amount of you total Storage 136Gb.<br />
<br />
So what is the size for the RAID1 that you created?<br />
<br />
Did not understand the 73GB<br />
<br />
Please can you clarify more your Storage, and RAIDs created?<br />
<br />

Take a print screen of that Datastore(here you have the VMware installed, but also the free space).<br />

storage on VMware EAXi

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
