*Maximum interface transfer rate = theoretical bus bandwidth, whereas burst transfer rate = maximum drive speed.
Performance depends on the RAID mode selected and burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and may vary
slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower depending on host configuration.
**1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment
(typically 5-10% less). Capacity varies depending upon RAID mode.
***Calculations are based on 1080i 60 (8-bit) for uncompressed HD video, NTSC DV 25 standard-definition 720x486, 29.97 fps
for digital video; and an estimation of Digital SLR resolution of 10 megapixels for RAW photos of 12MB. These calculations are only
estimations and may vary with the codec used.
Windows XP does not support hard drives with capacities greater than 2TB.
