*1: Physical capacity is calculated based on the assumption that 1TB=1,000GB and 1GB=1,000MB.
*2: This value indicates the maximum physical capacity when 2.5" SSDs are installed.
The value changes to 553TB when 3.5" SSDs are installed.
*3: Different types of drive enclosures can be installed together in an ETERNUS DX. When different types of drive enclosures are installed
together, the maximum number of installable drive enclosures depends on which drive enclosure type combinations are used.
*4: These values are only for when all of the installed drives are the same type and the number of these drives is the maximum.
*5: For details, refer to "
