Product description CLARITY ON CAPACITY - Digital storage measurement differs between manufacturers (decimal: 1GB = 1,000MB) and computers (binary: 1GiB = 1,024MiB), plus space is needed for the file system.

Is USB 2.0 fast enough for everyday use? For documents, photos, music, and standard file transfers, USB 2.0 at 15MB/s read speed handles everyday tasks reliably. For large video files, consider our USB 3.0 version. -
Why is the usable storage less than 16GB? The key is the different definitions of a GB from a Operating System and a Disk Drive Manufacturer. 1. Operating Systems define a GB as 2^30 (1,073,741,824 bytes) 2. Disk Drive Manufacturers define a GB as 10^9 (one billion bytes). -
