Due to SCSI specifications, the daisy chaining of more than two Digital Video Storage Array subsystems (DVA-08K/DVA-16K) on a single Divar is NOT RECOMMENDED. Divar can address up to 6 SCSI IDs (7
for units without DVD writer) and a maximum of 2TB per ID (12TB with DVD writer or 14TB for units without a DVD writer) Stated capacities assume JBOD configuration 8% overhead on the HDDs.
**
Due to SCSI specifications, the daisy chaining of more than three Digital Video Storage Array subsystems (DVA-08K/DVA-16K) on a single DiBos is NOT RECOMMENDED. The maximum configuration is (2)
DVA-16Ks or (1) DVA16K and (2) DVA08Ks daisy chained. Stated capacities assume JBOD configuration and 8% overhead on the HDDs.
