 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.
