You may notice that when converting Mine V2 licenses to NUS Starter licenses in portfolio 2.0, the conversion rate appears to be 50% of the original amount of Mine V2 licenses.
Example:
50 TiBs of Mine V2 licenses convert to 25 TiBs of NUS licenses.
This difference is due to the way Mine V2 licenses and NUS licenses are calculated:
- Mine V2: Represent raw TiBs of capacity.
- NUS licenses: Represent usable TiBs of capacity.
When converting from Mine V2 licenses to NUS licenses, the conversion rate is 2:1 because NUS account for usable storage capacity, which is about half of the raw storage. This means that for every 2 TiBs of Mine V2 (raw capacity), you will get 1 TiB of NUS (usable capacity).
