[1] Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size. [2] Definition of capacity: We define 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 definition of 1GB = 2 storage capacity. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file 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. [3] "2.5-inch" describes the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate drive's physical size. [4] Sanitize Instant Erase. SIE is a function to invalidate the data recorded on the magnetic disks at a blink. [5] A kibibyte (KiB) means 2 [6] Input voltages are specified at the HDD connector side, during HDD ready state. [7] Make sure the value is not less than -0.3V DC (less than -0.6V, 0.1ms) when turning on or off the power. [8] Power supply at nominal voltage ±1%. 25°C ambient. Refer to Subsection 2.5 "Power conditions" of the SAS INTERFACE SPECIFICATION for details of idle and

ready states. "Ready state" corresponds to 2.5.2 "Active state" of the SAS INTERFACE SPECIFICATION. [9] Vibration applied to the HDD is measured at near the mounting screw hole on the frame as much as possible. [10] At random seek write/read and default on retry setting with log sweep vibration. [11] At power-off state after installation [12]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 reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF.
