Description

This is the total RAW amount of IOPS the collection of disks are capable of producing. This does not take into account the RAID penalties

This is the total amount of IOPS that the collection of disks are capable or producing based on the RAID type you have selected. This does take
in to consideration the RAID penalty and the % of read and writes estimated.
This is the theoretical amount of data that the collection of disks are capable or based on the amount of Actual IOPS and the IO Block Size
selected
The total amount of RAW storage across the collection of disks
The total amount of usable storage after taking into account the type of RAID selected
