Calculating IOPS values

1. Describe your incident: I am trying to calculate IOPS values based on the table of values at this documentation link: Planning Your Deployment. A formula is provided (IOPs=(MB/sec x 106)/Block-size in bytes), but I am unable to get the values in the table even after using the formula. What am I missing?

2. Describe your environment:

  • OS Information: -

  • Package Version: -

  • Service logs, configurations, and environment variables: -

3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?
I have attempted to calculate the IOPS values based on the GB / day values and formula, but I do not get the same results of 2.894, 14.468, 28.935, 57.870, 144.676, 289.352…

IOPs=(MB/sec x 106)/Block-size in bytes
Using 0.012MB/sec as an example,
IOPs = 0.012 * 106 / 4000 = 0.000318
My answer of 0.000318 differs from the provided value of 2.894.

4. How can the community help?
Perhaps someone could explain why I do not get the same values as in the documentation?

Thank you.

Hey @huimin

Well noticed!

This is an error in formatting on the website, 106 should in fact be 10 to the power of 6.

Equation without questionable format below.
