Reference information
1 GHz measures only microprocessor internal clock speed, not application performance. Many factors affect application performance.
2 Actual playback speed will vary and is often less than the maximum possible.
3 When referring to HDD or tape backup capacity, GB stands for one billion bytes. Total user capacity may vary depending on operating environments.
