Formatted capacity of a Sandisk Fusion-IO Card?

  • 772

I'm interested in buying some 6.4 TB Fusion IO SX300 cards. They will be formatted as NTFS 64 Kb cluster size with Windows Server. My question is what will the actual usable space be once the drives are formatted with a filesystem on top? Does anyone have some of these and have formatted them for Windows Server?

  1. This'll depend on the cluster size you're using and the average size of the files you're putting on it (more files = more overhead, generally).

    From my experience with comparable disk sizes, the overhead is negligble.

    I called Fusion IO and they said 5.81 TB.
