What is Gbps?

Gigabits per second (Gbps) represents extremely high-speed data transfers at 1,000,000,000 bits per second following international decimal standards.

Common uses:

  • Data center interconnects
  • High-performance computing
  • Fiber optic network backbone
  • 5G network infrastructure

What is MB/s?

Megabytes per second (MB/s) measures data transfer in megabytes (1,000,000 bytes) per second following international decimal standards. This unit is commonly used for storage device speeds.

Common uses:

  • Storage device performance metrics
  • Large file transfer speeds
  • Video editing data rates
  • Backup system throughput

Gbps vs MB/s

1 Gbps equals 125 MB/s. Gigabits per second is a larger unit than Megabytes per second, making it suitable for measuring higher data transfer rates.

When to use Gbps:

Choose Gbps when measuring Data center interconnects or High-performance computing.

When to use MB/s:

Choose MB/s when measuring Storage device performance metrics or Large file transfer speeds.

How to Convert Gbps to MB/s

Formula:

Gbps × 125 = MB/s

Example:

Example: 1 Gbps × 125 = 125 MB/s

How to Convert MB/s to Gbps

Formula:

MB/s ÷ 125 = Gbps

Example:

Example: 125 MB/s ÷ 125 = 1 Gbps
