 One MB is equal to on 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. 
2
 MTBF target is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical 
measurements and acceleration algorithms under median operating condi-
tions. MTBF ratings are not intended to predict an individual drive’s reliability. 
MTBF does not constitute a warranty.
