Notes:

[1] Compatibility 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. Compatibility is based on information currently available and is subject to change and subject to restrictions per hardware specifications.

[2] One Gigabyte (GB) means one billion bytes and one Terabyte (TB) means one trillion bytes. Total available capacity will vary based on 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 1TB = 2⁴⁰ = 1 099 511 627 776 bytes and therefore shows less storage.

[3] Number of games based on a 36GB average per game. The number of games will vary based on file size, formatting, other programs, and factors.
