¹ 1 TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
² Usable storage capacity for installed Array or Expansion modules can be upgraded at any time after purchase in
increments of 34 TB, up to a total of 68 TB per module. Storage capacity upgrades are enabled simply by adding a
license key. To purchase a storage capacity upgrade license, contact your Quantum sales representative. After you
obtain the storage capacity license, refer to the section “Adding a License Key” in the
DXi6900 User’s Guide
for
instructions on completing the capacity upgrade.
³ Usable space is presented as a decimal (1000) value (TB or Terrabyte) in the DXi GUI. Backup applications may report
the binary (1024) value (TiB or Tebibye) but incorrectly label it as "TB". For example, 272 TB will be seen in the DXi
GUI; however a backup application may report 247.38 TB.
247.38 "tebibyte (TiB) = 271.99718647923 "terabyte
(TB)"
