Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is 1 gibibytes per second in gigabits per second?

1 Gibibytes per Second equals 8.589935 Gigabits per Second on this page.

Does this Gibibytes per Second to Gigabits per Second page assume 8 bits per byte?

Yes. This route converts through bits per second first, then applies the exact relationship 1 byte = 8 bits together with the appropriate decimal or binary prefix scaling.

When would I convert gibibytes per second to gigabits per second?

This route is useful when translating between network-style bit rates and storage- or application-style byte rates so throughput discussions do not mix bits and bytes.

How do I reverse Gibibytes per Second to Gigabits per Second?

Use the mirror Gigabits per Second to Gibibytes per Second route; it applies the inverse relationship with the same digital-rate assumptions.
