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.

 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.
