What is B/s?

Bytes per second (B/s) measures data transfer rate in bytes rather than bits. Since 1 byte equals 8 bits, B/s values are 8 times smaller than equivalent bps values.

Common uses:

  • File transfer speed measurements
  • Storage device read/write speeds
  • Data streaming applications
  • Software download measurements

What is Kbps?

Kilobits per second (Kbps) represents 1,000 bits transmitted per second following international decimal standards. This unit is commonly used for measuring internet connection speeds.

Common uses:

  • Early internet connection speeds
  • Mobile data speed measurements
  • Audio streaming quality indicators
  • Basic broadband connections

B/s vs Kbps

1 B/s equals 0.008 Kbps. Bytes per second is a smaller unit than Kilobits per second, providing more precise measurements for lower data transfer rates.

When to use B/s:

Choose B/s when measuring File transfer speed measurements or Storage device read/write speeds.

When to use Kbps:

Choose Kbps when measuring Early internet connection speeds or Mobile data speed measurements.

How to Convert B/s to Kbps

Formula:

B/s × 0.008 = Kbps

Example:

Example: 1 B/s × 0.008 = 0.008 Kbps

How to Convert Kbps to B/s

Formula:

Kbps ÷ 0.008 = B/s

Example:

Example: 0.008 Kbps ÷ 0.008 = 1 B/s
