[1] 2.5-inch means the form factor of HDDs. They do not indicate the drive‘s physical size.
[2] One Terabyte (TB) means one trillion bytes. Total available capacity will vary based on the operating environment, and your results and storage capacity will vary accordingly. A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB = 230 = 1 073 741 824 bytes and 1TB = 240 = 1 099 511 627 776 bytes and therefore shows less storage capacity.
[3] Compatibility with the Canvio Flex may vary depending on the user‘s hardware configuration and operating system. Please check device compatibility and connecting instructions by reviewing the applicable user manuals for such device. The latest information can be viewed online under this link.
[4] USB Type-C and USB-C are only for use with products based on and compliant with the USB Type-C cable and connector specification.
