PLAINTIFF’S CLAIMS AND THE BENEFITS OF SETTLEMENT
Class Counsel and the Class Representative believe that the claims asserted in the Litigation have merit. Plaintiff’s suit alleges that Defendant’s hard disk drives deliver approximately 7% less storage capacity than advertised. According to Plaintiff, when attached to most personal computers, a hard disk drive advertised by Defendant as having “80GB” will only show an available capacity of “74.4GB.” Plaintiff alleges that one reason for this disparity is the use of two different measurements of a “GB.” Plaintiff alleges that computer operating systems compute 1 GB as 1,073,741,824 bytes (the “Binary Definition”), but Defendant and other hard disk drive manufacturers compute 1 GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes (the “Decimal Definition”).
