Just curious about storage utilization

I’ve installed two 320GB drives in my Gen 1 MyCloud EX2 (JBOD) for use storing security camera video footage after WD cease all acknowledgement that this fine product ever existed. Looking at my dashboard, I see that I have 621GB storage available, zero in pictures, music and video but 400+ Mb as “other”. Given that the firmware is stored in hardware in the dual drive MyClouds, anybody know what this 400+ MB storage is?

Probably some file system overhead
