allocate 12.4GB to Expansion U...
It is normal to ned up like this .. but your appliance is not configured for optimal performance due to splitting your de-dupe across the shelf an dthe header unit.
It does mean loosing 4TB of de-dupe space but it would perform better if you only had the de-dupe located on the shelf. You could have the 4TB on the header used as Advanced Disk if you wanted to - trouble is that your unit is pretty full (96% full by the looks of it) so you would need to do a lot of cleanup to reduce the size before you could move it.
If you did want to use that last little bit you could resize it - just work out what the total size would be in GB and resize it to that. (you can also use the web interface)
