DATETIME2 Internal Storage Structure

I propose the following:

DATETIME2 8 bytes (precision > 4) internal storage structure

o 1st byte: precision like 7

o middle 4 bytes: number of time units (smallest 100ns) since midnight

o last 3 bytes: number of days after the base date 0001-01-01

Is it correct? Thanks.

DECLARE @dt2 DATETIME2 = '00020101 00:00:00.0000009'
SELECT convert(binary(9), @dt2);
-- 0x0709000000006D0100

DECLARE @dt26 DATETIME2(6) = '00020101 00:00:00.000008'
SELECT convert(binary(9), @dt26);
-- 0x0608000000006D0100
