Policies for Estimating Cache Memory
When installing cache memory, select the cache memory capacity according to the physical drive capacity and
the operation contents (the method to access data).
Since the total capacity of data that is to be handled increases in proportion to the total capacity of the drives
that are accessed, more cache memory needs to be installed when additional capacity for drives is installed. If
the cache memory capacity is insufficient, data is read from the drives and performance is reduced because data
cannot be read from the cache memory (cache miss).
The following guidelines show the basic capacity of the cache memory according to the drive capacity (*1) and
the recommended cache memory capacity when using the functions.
*1: Use the total capacity of the drives that are accessed during operation for the drive capacity.
When work is separated by time, such as between daytime and nighttime, cache memory capacity can be
calculated by using the task that requires the most capacity from the drives that are accessed.
It can also be calculated by using the drive capacity for tasks that place a priority on response time.

Basic Capacity of the Cache Memory
The required capacity for cache memory is calculated according to the drive capacity of the access target.
