The 8Gb/s must be incorrect because this drive does 3450MB. I understand there’s 8 bits to a byte so how does 8Gb/s come out to 3450MB? It doesn’t. It comes out to 1GB

different brand, I'd pass on that 1tb. I'm passing on this 500gb. I need a better 1tb. Many drives the 1tb is quite a bit faster than the 500Gb.
