*Available in 4TB and 2TB capacities
CAPACITY: One MB is equal to one million bytes, one GB is equal to one billion bytes and one TB equals 1,000GB (one trillion bytes) when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity will vary from the stated capacity due to formatting and partitioning of the hard drive, the computer’s operating system, and other factors.
MTBF: MTBF target is based on a sample population and is estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under median operating conditions.
MTBF ratings are not intended to predict an individual drive’s reliability. MTBF does not constitute a warranty.
SECTOR SIZE: Advanced Format drive: 4K (4096-byte) physical sectors DATA BUFFER: Portion of buffer capacity used for drive firmware.
TRANSFER RATE: MiB/s is 1048576 Bytes/sec, MB/s is 1000000 Bytes/sec.
SEEK TIME: Excludes command overhead.
OPERATING POWER: Calculated based on a Random RW 4KB workload at Queue Depth of 1.
LOW POWER IDLE: Based on use of Idle_A
