How come my CalDigit array only shows 5,588GB (instead of full 6000GB)?
The actual definition of “1GB” = “1,073,741,824 bytes”, and it’s NOT “1GB” = “1,000,000,000 bytes”. Therefore, the calculation for 6000GB is: 6000 / 1.073741824 = 5587.94 which rounds up to 5588GB. Most operation systems defines ‘gigabyte’ as 1,073,741,824 bytes. As result, this system do apply on any CalDigit or CalDigit related devices, and the ‘capacity shortage’ is not related to your CalDigit disk array’s physical specifications.
