How to Convert Gigabytes Per Second to Gigabits Per Second

"Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s) to Gigabit Per Second (Gbps) Diagram" — click any bar to view its data unit page, or set it as source/target.

To convert gigabytes per second to gigabits per second, multiply by 8. This conversion translates actual file transfer speeds (bytes) to network bandwidth (bits) by accounting for the 8:1 bit-to-byte ratio.

GB/s represents your actual download or transfer speed—what you see in your browser or file manager when copying files.

Gbps is the equivalent network bandwidth. Use this when comparing against ISP plans, sizing network links, or calculating replication bandwidth requirements. Related: Gigabytes Per Second to Zettabits Per Second.

Gigabyte Per Second to Gigabit Per Second Conversion Examples

10 GB/s = 80 Gbps

50 GB/s = 400 Gbps

100 GB/s = 800 Gbps

500 GB/s = 4,000 Gbps

1,000 GB/s = 8,000 Gbps

Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.

What Is Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s)? Definition and Uses

A gigabyte per second is 1,000 megabytes per second. Used for NVMe SSDs and high-speed storage.

The gigabyte per second is a byte-based throughput unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).

Common uses: NVMe SSD speeds, PCIe bandwidth, high-performance computing, GPU memory See also: Gigabytes Per Second to Terabits Per Second.

1 GB/s = 8 × 10⁹ bits per second .

The gigabyte per second can be abbreviated as GB/s; for example, 1 gigabyte per second can be written as 1 GB/s.
