* All capacities and transfer rates quoted as typical use a 2:1 compression ratio; this may vary since compression is data dependent.
** Express Exchange is available in most countries. In those countries which do not currently support Express Exchange, support is provided through either the Low End Support Program or the local parts center. The warranty on both internal and external HP SureStore DAT drives purchased with an HP NetServer is upgraded to match the system warranty.
