As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environ-
ment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion
bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for
details.

TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity.
7
Measured using the MobileMark™ 2014 benchmark with ASPM (Active State Power Management) enabled.
8
MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing.
9
Operational temperature is measured by an on board temperature sensor.
10
Non-operational storage temperature does not guarantee data retention.
