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 environment. 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
