About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
About HDD Capacity Representation
Thecapacityofthestoragedevice(HDD,SSD)ofthemanufactureriscalculatedassumingthat1KB=1,000Bytes.
However,theoperatingsystem(Windows)calculatesthestoragedevicecapacityassumingthat1KB=1,024Bytes,andthereforethe
capacityrepresentationoftheHDDinWindowsissmallerthantheactualcapacityduetothedifferenceincapacitycalculation.
(E.g.Fora80GBHDD,Windowsrepresentsthecapacityas74.5GB,80x1,000x1,000x1,000byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte=
74.505GB)
Inaddition,thecapacityrepresentationinWindowsmaybeevensmallerbecausesomeprogramssuchasRecoverySolutionmay
resideinahiddenareaoftheHDD.
About Memory Capacity Representation
ThememorycapacityreportedinWindowsislessthantheactualcapacityofmemory.
ThisisbecauseBIOSoravideoadapterusesaportionofmemoryorclaimsitforfurtheruse.
(E.g.For1GB(=1,024MB)memoryinstalled,Windowsmayreportthecapacityas1,022MBorless)

Cautions on Preventing Data Loss
(Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the
data on a hard disk drive.
■ Aharddiskdriveissosensitive
toexternalimpactthatan
externalimpactmaycauseloss
of data on the surface of the
disk.
■ Takeextracare,because
movingthecomputeroran
impact on the computer when
itisturnedonmaydamagethe
dataoftheharddiskdrive.
■ Thecompanyisnotliablefor
anylossofanydatacausedby
acustomer'scarelessusageor
badenvironmentalconditions.
Causes that may damage the
data of a hard disk drive and the
hard disk drive itself.
■ Thedatamaybelostwhenan
externalimpactisappliedto
thediskwhiledisassemblingor
assemblingthecomputer.
■ Thedatamaybelostwhenthe
computer is turned off or reset
byapowerfailurewhilethe
harddiskdriveisoperating.
■ Thedatamaybelostand
irrecoverableduetoacomputer
virusinfection.
■ Thedatamaybelostifthe
poweristurnedoffwhile
runningaprogram.
■ Movingorcausinganimpact
tothecomputerwhilethehard
