*Maximum interface transfer rate = theoretical bus bandwidth, whereas burst transfer rate = maximum drive speed. Burst and average transfer rates vary from one computer to another
and may vary slightly from one drive to another.
**1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1000MB. 1MB = 1,000,000 Bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 10% less).
***Calculations are based on 1080i 60 (8-bit) for uncompressed HD video, NTSC DV 25 standard-denition 720x486, 29.97 fps for digital video; and an estimation of Digital SLR
