Denition of capacity: KIOXIA Corporation denes a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes, a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating
system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the denition of 1GB = 2^30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including
examples of various media les) will vary based on le size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or
media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
A kibibyte (KiB) means 2^10, or 1,024 bytes.
MTTF (Mean Time to Failure) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reect actual
operation. Actual operating life of the product may be dierent from the MTTF.
DWPD: Drive Write Per Day. One drive write per day means the drive can be written and re-written to full capacity once a day every day for ve years, over the stated product warranty period. Actual
results may vary due to system conguration, usage and other factors.
Read and write performances may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and le size.
IOPS: Input Output Per Second (or the number of I/O operations per second).
[1] The Sanitize Instant Erase (SIE) option supports Crypto Erase, which is a standardized feature dened by the technical committees (T10) of INCITS (the InterNational Committee for Information
Technology Standards).
[2] SED (Self-Encrypting Drive) supports TCG Enterprise SSC.
[3] FIPS 140-2 validated (Level 2) denes security requirements for cryptographic module by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
[4] Optional security feature compliant drives are not available in all countries due to export and local regulations.
