* One Gigabyte (1 GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

** Free of brominated flame retardants (BFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC); hazardous halogens, antimony trioxide and red phosphorous also eliminated from all components in the MKxx55GSX drive series.

*** Buffer space available to the user.

**** S-ATA power management features applied.
