### Translating quantities from StorSimple

If you are trying to estimate the costs of Azure File Sync based on the expenses you see in StorSimple, be careful with the following items:

- **Azure Files bills on logical size (standard file shares).** Unlike StorSimple, which encodes your data in the StorSimple proprietary format before storing it to Azure Blob storage, Azure Files stores the data from Azure File Sync in the same form as you see it on your Windows File Server. This means that if you are trying to figure out how much storage you will consume in Azure Files, you should look at the logical size of the data from StorSimple, rather than the amount stored in Azure Blob storage. Although this may look like it will cause you to pay more when using Azure File Sync, you need to do the complete analysis including all aspects of StorSimple costs to see the true comparison. Additionally, Azure Files offers capacity reservations that enable you to buy storage at an up-to 36% discount over the list price. See [Capacity reservations in Azure Files](../files/understanding-billing.md#reserve-capacity).

- **Don't assume a 1:1 ratio between transactions on StorSimple and transactions in Azure File Sync.** It might be tempting to look at the number of transactions done by StorSimple in Azure Blob storage and assume that number will be similar to the number of transactions that Azure File Sync will do on Azure Files. This number may overstate or understate the number of transactions Azure File Sync will do, so it's not a good way to estimate transaction costs. The best way to estimate transaction costs is to do a small proof-of-concept in Azure File Sync with a live file share similar to the file shares stored in StorSimple.
