hrStorageSize OBJECT-TYPE
    DESCRIPTION
        "The size of the storage represented by this entry,
         in units of hrStorageAllocationUnits...."
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

hrStorageAllocationUnits OBJECT-TYPE
    DESCRIPTION
        "The size, in bytes, of the data objects allocated
        from this pool....."


So you'll need to retrieve the corresponding
hrStorageAllocationUnits to interpret the storage
sizes correctly.

These units will typically remain constant for a given
disk (and may well be the same for all disks) - so you
should only need to query this once.
