Gigabits Per Second to Gigabytes Per Second Converter

About these units

Gbps
Gigabits per second, a bit-based data-rate unit used for high-speed network links, internet plans, and server bandwidth. It is different from GB/s because lowercase b means bits.
GB/s
Gigabytes per second, a byte-based throughput unit often used for storage, file transfer, memory, and disk speeds. One GB/s equals 8 Gbps in decimal data-rate units.

How to use the Gigabits Per Second to Gigabytes Per Second Converter

Convert gigabits per second (Gbps) to gigabytes per second (GB/s) with the exact data rate formula, worked examples, and a common-values table. Use the instant result for the gigabits per second to gigabytes per second conversion, then check the common-value table, reverse link, and unit notes before copying the answer.

  1. 1

    Enter Gigabits Per Second

    Type the gigabits per second value you want to convert. Decimal values work when you need a partial unit.

  2. 2

    Read Gigabytes Per Second
