Megabytes Per Second (MB/s) to Bytes Per Second (B/s) Converter
Type a value into the Megabytes Per Second (MB/s) field to convert to Bytes Per Second (B/s). 1 MB/s = 1,000,000 B/s, covering both bit-based and byte-based transfer rate units.

How to Convert Megabytes Per Second to Bytes Per Second
To convert megabytes per second to bytes per second, multiply by 1,000,000. Both units measure actual data throughput in bytes per second—useful for comparing storage benchmarks, file transfer speeds, and backup performance. See also: Bytes Per Second to Megabytes Per Second converter.
MB/s: A megabyte per second is 1,000 kilobytes per second. Standard for SSD and fast network transfers. Common uses include SSD benchmarks, USB transfer speeds, network file copies, download managers. You might also need: Megabytes Per Second to Gigabits Per Second.
B/s: One byte (8 bits) transferred per second. The fundamental byte-based transfer rate. Typically used for File transfer displays, storage benchmarks, precise measurements. Try the YB/s → B/s.
1 MB/s = 1,000,000 B/s — which means there are 1,000,000bytes per second in every megabyte per second.
MB/s to B/s Conversion Formula
// Convert MB/s to B/s
B/s = MB/s × 1,000,000
// Reverse: Convert B/s to MB/s
MB/s = B/s × 0.000001
MB/s to B/s Conversion Examples
10 MB/s = 10,000,000 B/s
50 MB/s = 50,000,000 B/s
100 MB/s = 100,000,000 B/s
500 MB/s = 500,000,000 B/s
1,000 MB/s = 1,000,000,000 B/s
What Is Megabyte Per Second (MB/s)?
A megabyte per second is 1,000 kilobytes per second. Standard for SSD and fast network transfers. You might also need: convert Ebps to YiB/s.
The megabyte per second is a byte-based throughput unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Check out our Gb to Eib calculator.
Common uses: SSD benchmarks, USB transfer speeds, network file copies, download managers See also: MB/s to Mibps converter.
1 MB/s = 8 × 10⁶ bits per second.
The megabyte per second can be abbreviated as MB/s; for example, 1 megabyte per second can be written as 1 MB/s.
What Is Byte Per Second (B/s)?
One byte (8 bits) transferred per second. The fundamental byte-based transfer rate. See also: Gibps to B/s.
The byte per second is a byte-based throughput unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Try the Gibibits Per Second in Terabytes Per Second.
Common uses: File transfer displays, storage benchmarks, precise measurements Related: converting Gibibytes to Zettabits.
1 B/s = 8 bits per second.
The byte per second can be abbreviated as B/s; for example, 1 byte per second can be written as 1 B/s.

💡 Storage Engineer Tip
Both units measure throughput. NVMe SSDs can reach 3+ GB/s, SATA SSDs max at ~0.5 GB/s, and typical HDDs do 100-200 MB/s.

When to Convert MB/s to B/s
Common scenario: Comparing throughput rates for storage benchmarks and transfer calculations. See also: MB/s to YB/s conversion rate.
Other situations include ISP speed verification for checking if you're getting advertised speeds, network planning for sizing links and capacity, backup window calculations for estimating transfer times, and replication sizing for disaster recovery planning.
