How to convert megabyte per second to gigabit per second

Enter your data transfer rate in megabyte per second and see the result in gigabit per second instantly. Key reference points: a 100 Mbps connection downloads at about 12.5 MB/s, a 1 Gbps fiber line transfers 125 MB/s, and the difference between megabits (Mb) and megabytes (MB) is a factor of 8.

Converting megabytes per second to gigabits per second helps network engineers determine whether upgrading from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps Ethernet is justified based on observed storage transfer throughput in their environment.

Frequently asked questions

1 megabyte per second equals 0.008 gigabit per second.

Multiply by 0.008. For example, 5 MB/s = 0.04 Gbps.

If you consistently see throughput above 100 MB/s (0.8 Gbps) and need more headroom, upgrading to 10 Gbps (1250 MB/s max) is worthwhile.

1 gigabit per second equals 125 megabyte per second.

100 megabyte per second equals 0.8 gigabit per second.
