1One Gigabyte (1GB) means 109= 1,000,000,000 bytes and One Terabyte (1TB) means 1012 =
1,000,000,000,000 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.
2Some colors may not be available in all drive sizes.
3While most systems provide sufficient power over the USB port for the Toshiba Portable External
Hard Drive, a few manufacturers and some older systems limit this power. If you find that your
Toshiba Portable External Hard Drive does not spin up, you may require a USB “Y” cable. This
cable combines the power from two USB ports to provide ample power to your drive. Please
contact Toshiba SDD Technical Support for information on obtaining a “Y” cable.
4Examples 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. Your results will vary based on file size and format,
settings, features, operating system, software and other factors.
