How to Convert Gigabits per Second to Gigabytes per Second
To convert gigabits per second to gigabytes per second, multiply the data transfer rate by the following conversion ratio: 0.125 gigabytes per second/gigabits per second.
Since one gigabits per second is equal to 0.125 gigabytes per second, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The data transfer rate in gigabytes per second is equal to the data transfer rate in gigabits per second multiplied by 0.125.
For example, here's how to convert 5 gigabits per second to gigabytes per second using the formula above.
How Many Gigabytes per Second Are in a Gigabits per Second?
There are 0.125 gigabytes per second in a gigabits per second, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our gigabits per second to gigabytes per second calculator automatically converts your data transfer rate measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Gigabits per Second and gigabytes per second are both units used to measure data transfer rate. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Gigabits per Second?
A gigabits per second is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,000,000,000 bits per second (bps), the base unit for data transfer rate. 1,000,000,000 bits per second. [1]
The gigabits per second is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of data transfer rate. Gigabits per Second can be abbreviated as Gbps; for example, 1 gigabits per second can be written as 1 Gbps.
In the metric system, "giga" is the standard SI prefix for billions, or 10⁹. This makes the gigabits per second (Gbps) a convenient decimal multiple of the bits per second (bps).
In practice, gigabits per second (Gbps) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level data transfer rate specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Gigabytes per Second?
A gigabytes per second is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 8,000,000,000 bits per second (bps), the base unit for data transfer rate. Equal to 8 Gigabits per second (8 Gbps). [2]
The gigabytes per second is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of data transfer rate. Gigabytes per Second can be abbreviated as GB/s; for example, 1 gigabytes per second can be written as 1 GB/s.
In the metric system, "giga" is the standard SI prefix for billions, or 10⁹. This makes the gigabytes per second (GB/s) a convenient decimal multiple of the bits per second (bps).
In practice, gigabytes per second (GB/s) are widely used across large-scale industrial, bulk, and macro-level data transfer rate specifications within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting data transfer rate between gigabits per second (Gbps) and gigabytes per second (GB/s), keep full floating-point precision (1 Gbps = 0.125 GB/s; 1 GB/s = 8 Gbps) during intermediate calculations and round only the final gigabytes per second figure to match your instrument tolerance.
