Gigabyte per second quick reference
| Gigabyte per second | Gigabit per second | Megabit per second | Megabyte per second |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB/s | = 8 Gbit/s | = 8000 Mbit/s | = 1000 MB/s |
| 10 GB/s | = 80 Gbit/s | = 80000 Mbit/s | = 10000 MB/s |
| 100 GB/s | = 800 Gbit/s | = 800000 Mbit/s | = 100000 MB/s |
| 1000 GB/s | = 8000 Gbit/s | = 8000000 Mbit/s | = 1000000 MB/s |
Where the gigabyte per second fits
The next smaller data transfer unit is the gigabit per second (Gbit/s). 1 GB/s = 8 Gbit/s, and 1 Gbit/s = 0.125 GB/s.
The next larger data transfer unit is the gibibyte per second (GiB/s). 1 GB/s ≈ 0.9313225746 GiB/s, and 1 GiB/s = 1.073741824 GB/s.
