1As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576
bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-
IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
2WD hard drive products manufactured and sold worldwide after June 1, 2006, meet or exceed Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliance requirements as mandated by the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU.
3Maximum burst rate running the Mode 5 Ultra ATA transfer mode.
4Controlled unload at ambient condition.
5The term of the limited warranty may vary by region. Visit support.wdc.com/warranty for details.
6No non-recoverable errors during operating tests or after non-operating tests.
