Formatted capacity
*One Gbyte equals one billion bytes when referring to hard drive capacity. Accessible capacity may vary depending on operating environ-
ment and formatting.
2.3
Default logical geometry
LBA mode
When addressing these drives in LBA mode, all blocks (sectors) are consecutively numbered from 0 to
n–1,
where
n
is
the number of guaranteed sectors as defined above
.
