As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one
billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending
on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As

billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s or 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate calculated
according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of
