GB equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity; accessible capacity may be less.

Buffer capacity includes 270 or less KB used for drive firmware.

Does not include command overhead

Low duty cycle, non mission-critical applications in PC, nearline and consumer electronics. Customer environments

are different from application to application .

RoHS refers to the European Union Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of certain hazardous substances in

electrical and electronic equipment.
