An S32 Node comes with one base enclosure, one expansion enclosure, and, optionally, up to eight more expansion enclosures. The base enclosures contain six database drives. Each expansion enclosures contains an initial set of 42 data drives and, optionally, one or two capacity upgrade drive sets of 32 data drives each.
Data drives are 10TB, 16TB, 20TB, or 24TB HDDs. Database drives are 800GB SSDs.
The tables below show information about the initial drive sets and capacity upgrade drive sets for 10TB, 16TB, 20TB, and 24TB drives. Each table shows the information listed below.
- Total raw capacity
- The total of the manufacturer-specified capacities of the data drives.
- Total storage
- The total amount of storage that the S32 Node can use for storing, protecting, and repairing object data and object and system metadata.
- Total storage is not the same as the amount of data that can be written to an S32 Node. The space required for metadata, protection, and repair reduces the amount of storage available for the data written to the S32 Node. However, single-instancing of data enables the amount of data written to exceed the total amount of storage.
- Licensable storage
- The maximum amount of storage that can be licensed on the S32 Node. This value is the amount of storage available for storing and repairing object data and object and system metadata. Licensable storage does not include the additional storage required for protecting data and metadata.

Approximate total storage on an S32 Node
To estimate the total storage on an S32 Node, add together the storage provided by the applicable drive sets. Here are some examples of total storage, where the totals are calculated using exact numbers of bytes and then rounded to terabytes instead of being calculated using the rounded values shown in the tables above:
- The total storage on a six-enclosure S32 Node that uses 10TB data drives and 800GB database drives and has two capacity upgrade drive sets in the first four expansion enclosures and one capacity upgrade drive set in the fifth expansion enclosure is approximately 4,514.98 TB.
- The total storage on a 10-enclosure S32 Node that uses 16TB data drives and 800GB database drives and has two capacity upgrade drive sets in each expansion enclosure is approximately 13,831.05 TB.
- The total storage on a 10-enclosure S32 Node that uses 20TB data drives and 800GB database drives and has two capacity upgrade drive sets in each expansion enclosure is approximately 17,287.50 TB.
- The total storage on a 10-enclosure S32 Node that uses 24TB data drives and 800GB database drives and has two capacity upgrade drive sets in each expansion enclosure is approximately 20,744.88 TB.
