Units supported as search parameters

Some parameters for the advanced search tool allow using units. For example, in the search criterion for RAM size, you can type 512MB instead of a value in bytes. This paragraph describes supported units by parameter type.

Bytes and multiples

All criteria using a memory size (RAM, hard disk capacity, etc) is by default expected in bytes. If no other unit is specified, all values will be assumed to be in bytes.

Convenience notation

All memory sizes can be written using spaces or underscores (_) to make the numbers easier to read. Numbers must begin with a digit. For example, the following numbers are all valid and all worth 1234:

1234
1 234
1_234
1234_

The following number is not valid:

_1234

Supported units

Units used are non binary units, and a multiplication factor of 1024 is applied between each unit. Units are case-insensitive. Therefore, Mb is identical to mB or mb or MB.

In detail, the following units are supported (provided in lower case, see above):
