Raw capacity for the stated one-petabyte erasure-code placement case

about 1.8 PB rawderived

Value kindderived — Derived values are guide calculations; their result is only as fixed as the stated inputs, scope, and method.
ScopeWorked-example value, not a measurement: 1.0 PB of logical data under an (8,3) erasure code (11/8 = 1.375x) with 25% of raw capacity held free. Triple replication at the same reserve needs 4.0 PB raw. Rerun it with your own code, logical size and reserve.
