For hard drive capacity measurements, 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity is less by 5% based on OS. Maximum capacity of 500TB achieved through the use of 24x20TB Nomadic 4U Drive Modules. 3.4GB/sec Actual rates will vary based on the host interface. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process. GVS custom configures each Nomadic 4U based on customer specifications from block size. Each drive goes through an extensive burn-in period prior to shipment.
