        Disclosures

        1. 1MB = 1 million bytes, 1GB = 1 billion bytes, 1TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual user capacity may be less depending on operating environment.
        2. MTBF specifications are based on a sample population and are estimated by statistical measurements and acceleration algorithms under typical operating conditions.
        3. Workload Rate is defined as the amount of user data transferred to or from the hard drive. Workload Rate is annualized (TB transferred × (8760 / recorded power-on hours)). Workload Rate will vary depending on your hardware and software components and configurations.
