 Intended for lower duty cycle environments in the enterprise storage  
hierarchy such as nearline applications. MTBF target is based on a  
sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and  
acceleration algorithms under median operating conditions. MTBF  
ratings are not intended to predict an individual drive’s reliability.  
MTBF does not constitute a warranty.

One MB is equal to one million bytes, one GB is equal to one billion 
bytes and one TB equals 1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring 
to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated 
capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the hard drive, the 
computer’s operating system, and other factors.
