CAPACITY CALCULATION
One Gigabyte (1GB) means 10 = 1,000,000,000 bytes Using powers
9
of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity
using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB=2
and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity
(including examples of various media files) will vary based on file size,
formatting, settings, software and operating system.
RoHS Compatible. This product is compatible with Euro-
pean Union Directive 00/95/EC, Restriction of the use of
certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment (RoHS), which restricts use of lead, cadmium, mercury,
hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.
