Usage Tips
How to estimate average file size
For an accurate estimate, take a representative sample of your files and calculate their average size. For example, for photos, an average size of 5-10 MB is common.
Redundancy factor
The redundancy factor depends on your RAID configuration or backup strategy. Choose the level that matches your data security needs.
Safety margin
It is recommended to add a margin of 20-30% to the calculated capacity to account for future growth and unexpected needs.
