**Table 2** Previous-generation SFS Turbo file systems
Parameter	Standard	Standard-Enhanced (Discontinued)	Performance	Performance-Enhanced (Discontinued)
Max. bandwidth	150 MB/s	1 GB/s	350 MB/s	2 GB/s
Max. IOPS	5,000	15,000	20,000	100,000
Single-queue, 4 KiB latency	2–5 ms	2–5 ms	1–3 ms	1–3 ms
Capacity	500 GB to 32 TB	10 TB to 320 TB	500 GB to 32 TB	10 TB to 320 TB
Medium Type	HDD	HDD	SSD	SSD
Highlights	Large capacity and low cost		Low latency and high IOPS
Typical scenarios	Code storage, log storage, file sharing, and enterprise OA		High-performance website, file sharing, content management, image rendering, AI training, and enterprise OA

In the table, the maximum IOPS and maximum bandwidth all include both the read and write operations. So, maximum IOPS = read IOPS + write IOPS.
The expansion increment of SFS Turbo Standard-Enhanced (discontinued), Standard, Performance-Enhanced (discontinued), and Performance file systems is 100 GB. The expansion increment of 20 MB/s/TiB, 40 MB/s/TiB, 125 MB/s/TiB, 250 MB/s/TiB, 500 MB/s/TiB, or 1,000 MB/s/TiB file systems is 1.2 TB.
