Toshiba Stor.E Steel User Manual page 13

A: The drives are designed to have optimal heat
dissipation, and therefore no fan is required. This
results in a near silent operation.
Q: Why is the capacity of my drive (as shown in
Windows) lower than the drives actual stated
capacity?
A: This difference can be explained because of the
different methods of calculating the capacity.
Hard drive manufacturers calculate on the
decimal system, while the operating system
calculates in the binary system.
Example decimal:
1GB = 1.000MB = 1.000.000KB = 1.000.000.000
bytes
Example binary:
1GB = 1.024MB = 1.048.576KB = 1.073.741.824
bytes.
As a result, a 120GB (decimal) hard disk appears
in Windows to have just 112GB (binary)
Q: Can I use my drive to copy an operating
system from one computer to another?
A: No, you must follow the operating system
supplier instructions for installation. A simple
copy does not work.
Q: Does Toshiba offer a data recovery services?
A: No, Toshiba does not provide such data recovery
services.
