*1TB (Terabyte) = 1000GB. 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending upon operating environment (typically 5–10% less). ** Burst transfer rates vary from one computer to another and might vary slightly from one drive to another. Average speed is usually lower, depending on host configuration. ***Calculations are based on 1080i 60 (8-bit) for uncompressed HD video, NTSC DV 25 standard-definition 720x486, 29.97 fps for digital video; and an estimation of Digital SLR resolution of 10 megapixels for RAW photos of 12MB. These calculations are only estimations and might vary. ****LaCie Shortcut Button is available via FireWire and USB 2.0 but not eSATA. Windows XP 32-bit, and versions of MAC OS X before 10.4.6 do not recognize partitions of more than 2TB. © 2009, LaCie. The LaCie logo is a trademark of LaCie.
