*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.
**Hot-swapping is not possible in RAID 0 and concatenation modes.
***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.
****The LaCie Shortcut Button feature is available via FireWire and USB but not eSATA.
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 2000, Windows XP 32-bit, and versions of MAC OS X before 10.4.6 do not recognize partitions of more than 2TB.
These measurements are indications and may vary by ±10%.
