Internal/external VOL for a CLPR (total capacity) ¹	Recommended cache capacity for a CLPR²
Less than 4 TB	12 GB
4 TB or more	16 GB
16 TB or more	24 GB
48 TB or more	32 GB
96 TB or more	40 GB
160 TB or more	48 GB

Notes: If you are calculating the total capacity of internal/external volumes, note the following for each volume capacity: Internal volume: For RAID 1, add the half of total parity group capacity. For RAID 5/6, subtract the parity disk capacity from the total parity group capacity and add the resulting amount. External volume: Add the total capacity of the parity group. If the recommended cache capacity exceeds the maximum capacity, install the maximum capacity.
