 ===== Drive Capacity Calculator =====
+COMING SOON :!:
 This tool is expected to come with the new plot shrinker.
+==== How does it work? ====
+Fill in the size of your drive and select what k-size plots you want to fill it with.
+Are you combining space over multiple disks through raid0 [[https://www.reddit.com/r/chia/comments/pev9oe/raid_0_for_farm_i_think_yes_using_one_of_my_farms/hb01tdw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3|(not recommended)]]? Just add up the total space over your drives.
+==== A myth debunked ====
+A commonly heard myth goes along these lines:
+//"The additional space used up by a k33 beyond 2x k32 does not contribute to winning a block, so using larger k sizes to fill a hard drive "more" is actually wasting space"//  **-- FALSE**
+This statement is a common misconception, as can be verified on the [[https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/FAQ#what-is-recommended-for-plotting|official Chia FAQ]] as well as in the [[https://www.chia.net/assets/proof_of_space.pdf|Proof of Space Construction paper]].
+With this we can conclude that the number of proofs (N) are directly proportional to the plot size in bytes. K is just a constant that goes into determining the final plot size, and can therefore not simply be misconstrued as a measure for number of proofs.
