# Data Formats and Multipliers |

You may enter data in all numerical fields either in sectors or in bytes. If there is no letters are after the number, R-Linux assumes the numbers are in bytes. Decimal numbers are entered as they are: 2372354 Hexadecimal numbers are entered as 0x23Fa67 or 23Fa67 hex. The following case-insensitive notation is possible:
b | 1 byte
kb | 1 kb = 2^10=1024 bytes
mb | 1 mb = 2^20=104857 bytes
gb | 1 gb = 2^30=1073741824 bytes
tb | 1 tb = 2^40=1099511627776 bytes
eb | 1 eb = 2^50=1125899906842624 bytes
hex | A hexadecimal number
sec (sector) | A number is in sectors
You may also slect the multipliers in the drop-down boxes. When the multiplier has been changed, the data value will be changed according to the specific context commands for that field: Suppose, the initial value is 1 GB, and the sector size of the object is 512 byte. The results will be the following: ### Command: No recalculate Change from GB to MB: 1 Change from GB to Sectors: 1 ### Command: Always recalculate Change from GB to MB: 1024 Change from GB to Sectors: 2097152 ### Command: Units type recalculate Change from GB to MB: 1 Change from GB to Sectors: 2097152
