Yes, I have wondered if this is some kind of reserve that Netgear have put in place to help solve the 80% issue. I have just checked with my colleague and he also remembers the extra 50GB being "used" so at least it's not just my unit. Maybe having taken the extra 50GB as some reserve the firmware should be reporting the total available space as 2.65TB, but incorrectly shows 2.70TB to windows.
Had I of seen 2.65TB of 2.65TB free, I probably wouldn't of even paid it much attention and would of accepted it. It's not nice seeing a blue bar of "used space" when the disks have just been 'formatted'.
Nothing I can do about it anyway I guess. I just have to accept Netgear wants an extra 50GB of my precious disk space!!. I just hope that this 80% issue has really been fixed otherwise backing up data, factory resetting and restoring data will have been a complete waste of time!!
