Effective throughput measurements for the DL2000 Standard Edition 
with Value Series hardware performing both Weekly Full and First 
Full backups were consistently ~1.5 TB/hr, with two (2) MD1000 
enclosures providing marginally better effective throughput than one 
(1). 
With deduplication disabled, the DL2000 Advanced Deduplication 
Edition with Performance Optimized hardware outperforms the 
DL2000 Standard Edition with Value Series hardware due to its 
superior processor and memory capabilities.
