One Gigabyte (1 GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the deﬁnition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

This drive was developed and originally sold by Fujitsu and still bears the Fujitsu name. As of October 1, 2009 any orders for this product will be sold by Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. and will use the original Fujitsu Part Number.

A small portion of buffer memory is used for drive ﬁrmware control.
