* These displayed sizes are the written sizes since the last time the storage statistics were reset.
* Storage statistics are apparently reset during a System Software update.
* Storage statistics are maybe stored in a file on the internal HDD.
* (b) stands for "backup" which is an inactive partition used when System Software update fails.
