Internal system drive capacity

The following tables define the internal system drive capacity and available physical capacity in decimal and binary values for the physical DR Series hardware appliances. The capacity values listed represent the internal drive and available physical capacities that have been adjusted for the associated overhead in the DR Series system releases.

NOTE: TB and GB represent terabytes and gigabytes in decimal values, and TiB represents tebibytes in binary values. Tebibytes are a standards-based binary multiple of the byte, a unit of digital information storage.
