About these units

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.
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.

FAQs

How do I convert gigabytes per second to gigabits per second?+

Use this formula: Gbps = GB/s × 8. Enter the GB/s value and the calculator applies the relationship immediately.

How many Gbps are in 1 GB/s?+

1 GB/s equals 8 Gbps.

What is 10 GB/s in Gbps?+

10 GB/s equals 80 Gbps. The displayed result may be rounded, while the calculator keeps full precision internally.

Can I convert gigabits per second back to gigabytes per second?+

Yes. Use Swap in the converter to reverse the units and calculate Gbps to GB/s.

How do I convert GB/s to Gbps?+

Multiply gigabytes per second by 8. For example, 1 GB/s equals 8 Gbps.

Why is 1 GB/s equal to 8 Gbps?+

A byte contains 8 bits, so a gigabyte-per-second rate is eight times the equivalent gigabit-per-second rate.

What is 2 gigabytes per second to gigabits per second?+

2 gigabytes per second equals 16 gigabits per second. Multiply 2 GB/s by 8 to get 16 Gbps.

What is 5 gigabits per second in gigabytes per second?+

5 Gbps equals 0.625 GB/s. Divide the gigabits-per-second value by 8 to reverse the conversion.

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

Convert gigabytes per second to gigabits per second. 1 GB/s = 8 Gbps and 2 GB/s = 16 Gbps, with formula, Excel note, and chart. Use the instant result for the gigabytes per second to gigabits per second conversion, then check the common-value table, reverse link, and unit notes before copying the answer.

  1. 1

    Enter Gigabytes Per Second

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

  2. 2

    Read Gigabits Per Second

    Use the main result for the exact gigabits per second value, then scan the common-value table for nearby reference points.

  3. 3

    Confirm byte vs bit rate

    Treat GB/s as gigabytes per second and Gbps as gigabits per second. The capital B means bytes, lowercase b means bits, and this converter uses the decimal 1 byte = 8 bits relationship.
