Conventions for storage capacity values

P9000 disk arrays use the following values to calculate physical storage capacity values (hard
disk drives):
1 KB (kilobyte) = 1,000 bytes
1 MB (megabyte) = 1,000
1 GB (gigabyte) = 1,000
1 TB (terabyte) = 1,000
1 PB (petabyte) = 1,000
1 EB (exabyte) = 1,000
P9000 disk arrays use the following values to calculate logical storage capacity values (logical
devices):
1 KB (kilobyte) = 1,024 bytes
1 MB (megabyte) = 1,024
1 GB (gigabyte) = 1,024
1 TB (terabyte) = 1,024
1 PB (petabyte) = 1,024
1 EB (exabyte) = 1,024
