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

What is bps?

Bits per second (bps) is the fundamental unit of data transfer rate, representing the number of bits transmitted or received per second.

Common uses:

  • Measuring very low-speed connections
  • Basic telecommunication systems
  • Serial communication protocols
  • Fundamental network speed calculations

MB/s vs bps

1 MB/s equals 8,000,000 bps. Megabytes per second is a larger unit than bits per second, making it suitable for measuring higher data transfer rates.

When to use MB/s:

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

When to use bps:

Choose bps when measuring Measuring very low-speed connections or Basic telecommunication systems.

How to Convert MB/s to bps

Formula:

MB/s × 8000000 = bps

Example:

Example: 1 MB/s × 8000000 = 8000000 bps

How to Convert bps to MB/s

Formula:

bps ÷ 8000000 = MB/s

Example:

Example: 8000000 bps ÷ 8000000 = 1 MB/s
