+Increasing [LTS](./lts/index.md) shared allocation storage requires purchasing additional hardware. Below are key details about purchasing additional storage nodes.
 
-- Allocation increases occur by purchasing whole storage nodes.
-- Each node has 133 TB of usable storage.
-- Nodes are purchased with researcher funds at vendor cost.
-- No markups are added to the cost of nodes.
-- Purchased nodes are racked with existing hardware in our data centers.
-- Purchased nodes are maintained by Research Computing with the same level of service as other hardware.
-- Purchased nodes are supported for 5 years from date of purchase, the industry standard for commercial datacenter hardware.
-- Once an order is placed with the vendor, we can provide additional storage immediately _if_ free storage is available, regardless of lead-time.
+Researchers may purchase whole storage nodes at cost from our vendor. We are unable to sell storage individually (per terabyte) at this time. Purchases must be made with our involvement.

+If a purchase is made, the node will be delivered to our data center and racked alongside our existing hardware. The node will be maintained by Research Computing with the same level of service as our hardware. Nodes are supported for 5 years from date of purchase, the industry standard for commercial datacenter hardware.

+When a purchase is confirmed by the vendor, we can provide additional storage immediately _if_ sufficient system storage is available, regardless of actual purchase lead-time.
