This is the premier SAN RAID Calculator for the Mac! (Also available on iPhone and iPad)
Have you been looking for a way to calculate the correct number of drives to reach a usable space? Look no further! This app is specifically designed to help. With the help of 13 year SAN veterans, The SAN RAID Calculator was designed to offer a vendor agnostic calculation to help you determine how many vendor disk to purchase or use to create usable storage space.
Many vendors treat this information with kid gloves. This calculator offers:
RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10 calculations, also including hot spares!
This calculator takes into account the difference between storage calculated using RAW marketing numbers and true space as reported by the operating system. Have you ever wondered why you purchase a 600GB disk drive and it doesn't report as 600GB in your operating system? Wonder no more! Use The SAN RAID calculator to determine the exact disks you need to request from your vendor.
