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.
2While 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.
