<h1 class="topictitle1">How Is the Disk Space or Capacity of GaussDB(DWS) Calculated?</h1>
<div id="body8662426"><p id="EN-US_TOPIC_0000001146786558__en-us_topic_0000001098976702_p118065892410">A cluster with three data nodes of 320 GB each has a total capacity of 960 GB. When 1 GB data is stored, GaussDB(DWS) stores 1 GB data on two nodes due to duplication, a security mechanism, thereby occupying a total of 2 GB space. As a result, more than 2 GB space is occupied if metadata and indexes are calculated. Therefore, a three-node cluster with a total capacity of 960 GB can store 480 GB data. This mechanism ensures data security.</p>

For example, the actual space of <strong id="EN-US_TOPIC_0000001146786558__b1255813285544">dws.m3.xlarge</strong> is 320 GB and the available space displayed is 160 GB, the space you will be billed for.</p>
