 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 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.
