Limits

While storage devices usually have their size expressed in powers of 10 (for instance a 1 TB Solid State Drive will contain at least 1,000,000,000,000 (10¹², 1000⁴) bytes), filesystem limits are invariably powers of 2, so usually expressed with IEC prefixes. For instance, a 1 TiB limit means 2⁴⁰, 1024⁴ bytes. Approximations (rounding down) using power of 10 are also given below to clarify.

File system	Maximum filename length	Allowable characters in directory entries
