Notes:
• Abbreviations key: GB = gigabyte(s) (10 9 bytes); PCap = Physical Capacity Control feature
• * 32-drive configuration = 26 data drives, 4 parity drives, 2 spare drives, 30 read actuators, and 13 write actuators;
48-drive configuration = 39 data drives, 6 parity drives, 3 spare drives, 45 read actuators, and 13 write actuators;
64-drive configuration = 52 data drives, 8 parity drives, 4 spare drives, 60 read actuators, and 13 write actuators.
• # PCAP utilization is the sum of PCap capacity divided by the uncompressed capacity of all data drives in a base
model. Example: Model VSMB-465 with capacity feature VC15 has a PCap capacity of 660GB and a data drive ca-
pacity of 3737.6GB (13 drives), or a 17.7% utilization rate. PCap utilization is capped to a maximum of 95% to en-
sure at least 5% of data drive space is available for free space collection.
• ‡ Actual effective 4:1 capacity = PCap capacity with 4:1 compression, based on number of data drives per array
(13) x number of arrays (2, 3, or 4) x base capacity per drive (143.75GB).
