1 Definitions: 1 gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, 1 terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Usable capacity may vary depending on operating environment. 1 megabyte (MB) for buffer or cache = 1,048,576 bytes. 1 megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second. 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. The active maximum SATA 6 Gb/s transfer rate is calculated based on Serial ATA specifications published by the SATA-IO organization.
