Dell requires a minimum of five unused disks per node of identical storage class (minimum for a single object store), required the same size.
For more information about hardware requirements, see the ObjectScale installation guide on Dell Support (Dell support login required).
For good performance, create the object store with a minimum capacity of 250 TB. Garbage collection (space reclamation) in a smaller-capacity object store might not match the data growth rate.
