Convention for Storage Capacity Values
The RAID storage system calculates physical storage capacity values (e.g.,
disk drive capacity) based on the following values:
1 KB = 1,000 bytes
1 MB = 1,000
2
bytes
1 GB = 1,000
3
bytes
1 TB = 1,000
4
bytes
1 PB = 1,000
5
bytes
The RAID storage system calculates logical storage capacity values (e.g.,
logical device capacity) based on the following values:
1 KB = 1,024 bytes
1 MB = 1,024
2
bytes
1 GB = 1,024
3
bytes
1 TB = 1,024
4
bytes
1 PB = 1,024
5
bytes
1 block = 512 bytes
