[1] QSBC is a trademark of Toshiba Corporation.
[2] Definition of capacity: Toshiba defines a megabyte (MB) as 1,000,000 bytes and a gigabyte (GB) as 1,000,000,000 bytes. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes 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, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
[3] Toshiba defines a mebibyte (MiB) as 1,048,576 bytes (220).
Read and write speed may vary depending on the host device, read and write conditions, and file size.
