When referring to drive capacity, one gigabyte, or GB, equals one billion bytes and one terabyte, or TB, equals one trillion bytes. Your 
computer’s operating system may use a different standard of measurement and report a lower capacity. In addition, some of the listed 
capacity is used for formatting and other functions, and thus will not be available for data storage. Actual quantities will vary based on 
various factors, including file size, file format, features and application software. Actual data rates may vary depending on operating 
environment and other factors. The export or re-export of hardware or software containing encryption may be regulated by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (for more information, visit www.bis.doc.gov), and controlled for import and 
use outside of the U.S. Seagate reserves the right to change, without notice, product offerings or specifications.
