No. 1.5e+06 = 1.5*(10^6) = 1500000 =
"one point five times ten to the sixth"
With the units, 1.5e+06MB = 1500000MB = 1500GB = 1.5TB."one point five to the sixth" = 1.5^6 =
1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5 = 11.4, a different number. The
"11.4" is what you're saying if you read it wrong.

After many moans, Netgear upgraded the meter on some devices so that it could cope with larger numbers as people move into Tbyte territory. No need then to get into scientific notation.
Firmware Version - V1.0.2.68
