The physical capacity is the amount of disk space configured in the system based on the disks installed and RAID protection applied. In a configuration where data reduction is not in use, the physical capacity is the total amount of capacity available for host data. For example, a system showing 100 TB of physical capacity can accommodate 100 TB of host data that is not using data reduction.
