With that, you get the versatility of this new connection without the raw throughput of the Thunderbolt 3 technology. System software and updates use significant storage space. Available storage is subject to change based on system software and updates and apps usage. 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. 1 TB = 1,000 GB. See Surface Storage for more details.
