New 3tb hdd thinks it's 801.6 GB

[George R Goffe <grgoffe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

Thanks for your response.

I had tried what you suggested but the system still reports 801.6 GB.

I have seen some mention of firmware problems but the asus.com web site seems to have firmware carefully hidden.

What are your thoughts?
