Capacity of X5 Displayed on the System
The capacity reported by the system to which X5 is connected may differ from the
labeled capacity, due to the difference between the decimal and binary systems of
measurement and other factors including the drive’s partitioning and blocking.
* e.g.: Windows OS: 1 GB = 1024MB, Mac OS: 1GB = 1000MB
Labeled capacity uses decimal system and is convertible as below:
1 GB=1,000,000,000 bytes, 1 TB=1,000,000,000,000 bytes
Lower capacity may be demonstrated by your computer due to use of a different measurement
standard.
