Notes
[1] Definition of capacity: Toshiba Memory Corporation
defines a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes and a terabyte (TB) as
1,000,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports
storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 2^30
bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes, 1TB = 2^40 bytes = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes
and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity
(including examples of various media files) will vary based on file
size, formatting, settings, software and operating system, such as
Microsoft® Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications,
or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
