Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes. As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details. 4 Performance is based on the CrystalDiskMark benchmark using a 1000MB LBA range on Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H desktop with Intel Z77 chipset, Intel i7-3770 3.4GHz, 8M, Ivy Bridge, Windows 8 64-bit SP1 using Intel iRST version 11.7.0.1013, secondary drive, C-state off. Performance may vary based on host device. 1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes. IOPS = input/output operations per second. 5 TBW (terabytes written) values calculated using JEDEC client workload (JESD219) and vary by product capacity. 6 Measured using the MobileMarkTM 2012 benchmark with DIPM (Device Initiated Power Management) enabled. 7 MTTF = Mean Time To Failure based on internal testing using Telcordia stress part testing. 8 See http://support.wdc.com for regional specific warranty details.
