Note
All information listed in the above sheet for reference only. We are not reliable for any
damage or loss resulting from it.
For the space marked by the HDD manufacturer, 1K=1000Bytes, while for the
computer OS, 1K=1024Bytes. So, the space recognized by the computer system is
less than the marked space on the HDD. Please pay attention to it.
All HDD space marked by the HDD manufacturer is shown as below: 1T=1000G,
1G=1000M, 1M=1000K, 1K=1000Bytes.
All HDD space marked by the HDD manufacturer shall become the computer OS
space after the corresponding calculation. For example:
1T（marked by the HDD manufacturer）=1000G/（1.024*1.024*1.024）=931G（OS space），
500G=500G/（1.024*1.024*1.024）=465G
