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=1000, while for the computer OS,

1K=1024. 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=1000.

 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
