We have more than a few of them, in a raid lvl 5 config, you get 84gigs of
space

Subject: Quantum SNAP servers - how much overhead?


I'm considering ordering a Quantum SNAP disk server for work; the 120gb
model goes for $3000. I'd assume that the 120gb figure is the raw disk
space, and that once I configure it, the effective space would be much
smaller.

After subtracting all the overhead, how much disk space is actually
useable on one of these? I need to know this for capacity planning before
we actually order them.

Thanks.
