Units for storage and network limits

Units for storage and network limits

Any value that represents bytes or bits can make use of a number of suffixes to make it easier to understand what a particular limit is.

Both decimal and binary (kibi) units are supported, with the latter mostly making sense for storage limits.

The full list of bit suffixes currently supported is:

  • bit (1)
  • kbit (1000)
  • Mbit (1000^2)
  • Gbit (1000^3)
  • Tbit (1000^4)
  • Pbit (1000^5)
  • Ebit (1000^6)
  • Kibit (1024)
  • Mibit (1024^2)
  • Gibit (1024^3)
  • Tibit (1024^4)
  • Pibit (1024^5)
  • Eibit (1024^6)

The full list of byte suffixes currently supported is:

  • B or bytes (1)
  • kB (1000)
  • MB (1000^2)
  • GB (1000^3)
  • TB (1000^4)
  • PB (1000^5)
  • EB (1000^6)
  • KiB (1024)
  • MiB (1024^2)
  • GiB (1024^3)
  • TiB (1024^4)
  • PiB (1024^5)
  • EiB (1024^6)
