-The graph represents a 256 KiB sequential workload and a 1 TiB working set. It shows that a single Azure NetApp Files large volume can handle between approximately 8,518 MiB/s pure sequential writes and 9,970 MiB/s pure sequential reads. 
+The graph represents a 256-KiB sequential workload using 12 virtual machines reading and writing to a single large volume using a 1-TiB working set.
