Maximum raw capacity of 5 and 6 1.20 PBe
(384 TB, 349 TiB original capacity)
The maximum capacity of each cluster is 5 4.80 PBe
1- Each horizontally expanding cluster can be composed of a maximum of 4 devices combined
2- One mezzanine card per node, mirrored
3- Each node has two IO modules, which have been mirrored.
4- Four (4) onboard ports by default
5- The calculation of effective capacity assumes an average data reduction rate of 4:1. The actual results may vary, please refer to PowerSizer for capacity data in your environment. The maximum capacity is determined by the driver provided at the time of purchase
The size of the device varies. The maximum logical capacity supported by each device is 8 EB. The raw value is based on the original base capacity of the drive supplier. TB is a decimal system with a base of 10
(1000x1000x1000x1000)。 TiB is binary with a base of 2 (1024×1024 x 1024 x 1024).
