*One Gigabyte (1 GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

**Examples of the number of photos, songs, movies, and any other files that can be stored on a hard drive are provided for illustrative purposes only. Results will vary based on file size and format, settings, features, operating system, software and other factors.

***Concentrations of chlorine and bromine are below 900 ppm for each substance, surpassing the IEC61249-2-21:2003 criteria set for printed circuit boards by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), in applying the criteria to all components in the HDD. IEC is the leading global organization that defines internationally-recognized standards for electrical, electronic and associated technologies.
