4. Product Specifications
4.1 Capacity
Capacity specification of the ATA CF series is available as shown in Table 4-1. It lists the specific
capacity and the default numbers of heads, sectors and cylinders for each product line.

16GB 16,001,040,384 16383* 16 63 31,252,032
Notes:
Display of total bytes varies from operating systems.
Cylinders, heads or sectors are not applicable for these capacities. Only LBA addressing applies
Notes: 1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes; 1 sector = 512 bytes.
LBA count addressed in the table above indicates total user storage capacity and will remain the same throughout the lifespan of the
device. However, the total usable capacity of the SSD is most likely to be less than the total physical capacity because a small portion
of the capacity is reserved for device maintenance usages.
