Hello Phany,
Here are some notes about this question.
1. Data fingerprint is used by storage arrays to search for data addresses. Memory of Dorado caches the fingerprint of each data block. Deduplication refers to the process of sharing the same fingerprint for identical data blocks.
2. The space of cached fingerprint is limited in the memory. Therefore, deduplication has limited valid space. Once valid deduplication space is used up, data will not be deduplicated.
3. A higher deduplication rate means a higher fingerprint reuse rate and larger valid deduplication space and vice versa.
The following table lists valid deduplication space for Dorado V3 of different versions.
Product Model | Memory (per controller) | Fingerprint Table Size | 1:1 Valid Deduplication Space | 3:1 Valid Deduplication Space | 10:1 Valid Deduplication Space |
Dorado5000 V3 SAS version | 128 GB | 16 GiB | 22 TB | 66 TB | 220 TB |
Dorado5000 V3 NVMe version | 256 GB | 32 GiB | 45 TB | 135 TB | 450 TB |
Dorado6000 V3 SAS version | 256 GB | 32 GiB | 45 TB | 135 TB | 450 TB |
Dorado6000 V3 SAS version | 512 GB | 60 GiB | 85 TB | 255 TB | 850 TB |
I hope it is helpful to you!
