ReadyNAS RN202 And HGST Deskstar NAS 6TB hard drives
Anyone try this combo? Can't find a lot of info on the RN202 and on 6TB hard drives.

It is NOT a disconnect between engineering and marketing. It is a long standing disconnect within engineering (and dates back 40 years).

Apple changed over to decimal units for disks in OSX 10.6. If Microsoft switched also, then we'd all end up on the same page for disks (since Linux can show either units)...
Memory would still use the 1024 units though.
