Product image may represent a design model.
Definition of capacity: One terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes, but storage capacity actually available may vary depending on operating environment and formatting. Available storage capacity (including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size, formatting, settings, software and operating system and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
A mebibyte (MiB) means 1 048 576 bytes.
MTTF / MTBF (Mean Time to Failure / Mean Time Between Failures) is not a guarantee or estimate of product life; it is a statistical value related to mean failure rates for a large number of products which may not accurately reflect actual operation. Actual operating life of the product may be different from the MTTF/MTBF.
Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
"3.5-inch" means the form factor of HDDs. It does not indicate drive's physical size.
Workload is a measure of the data throughput of the year, and it is defined as the amount of data written, read or verified by commands from the host system.
