Learn to set up a Windows node to become a Storj storage node operator (“SNO”), with with Knowledge. The tutorial for a complete setup is recorded in realtime, and easy to follow. At the end of the video, we’ll have a fully working node. When done correctly, the setup wizard also turns on the node and installs the dashboard and an optional auto-updater. If you encounter issues, help is available on the community

Hi People,
I’m new here, so please just let me know If I make something wrong.
I’m looking for a detail of the configuration: the parameter -e STORAGE=“2TB” \ can be specified in GB? if yes what is the correct syntax?
I cannot find enywhere this info, nor if the TB for the storagenode is 1000GB or 1024GB,
this difference can look like insignificant but when it is needed to make optimization in a big node this numbers can make a noticeable difference.
Thank you very much for the collaboration
Hi sonic1k,
Welcome to the forums. The storage parameter can be specified in MB, GB, or TB (possibly KB and bytes as well, but wouldn’t be that useful). Storj uses whichever units you specify. So using GB would specify in decimal Gigabytes (1000 MB), and using GiB would specify in binary Gibibytes (1024 MB).
Also worth noting that the official documentation can be found at https://documentation.storj.io/ , which is more actively updated when changes are required to run commands/parameters/etc. I would check there to make sure all of the commands you are using are the latest recommended by Storj.
@jocelyn Your posts in this thread are a bit out of date with the documentation page. Can they be updated? Or to avoid this post becoming out of date, perhaps it would be better to just link to the documentation page?
