Enter a number in the From field, select units, and then click Convert.
This tool performs conversion between the most common data transmission rate units used for measurements of network speed, bandwidth, file transfer rate, storage and backup throughput, etc.
Enter the initial value you wish to convert in the From filed, select the initial and target units, and then click the Convert button. This converter supports bit-based and byte-based units, including Mbps, Gbps, Tbps, MB/s, GB/s, TB/s, MiB/s, GiB/s, TiB/s, etc.
For your convenience this tool will also convert the entered value into other often used data transfer rate units.
In the realm of electronic communications, the values for network speed, bandwidth, or throughput are expressed as the amount of data transferred per unit of time. The primary measurement units for data transmission rate are "bit per second" and "byte per second". Additional units are derived from the primary units with the help of binary or decimal prefixes (such as kilo, mega, tera, kibi, mebi, tebi, etc.) or using alternative time units (such as minutes, hours, days).
The "bit per second" (bps) units are commonly used to measure network speed and data transmission rates over a network or across the Internet.
The "byte per second" (Bps or B/s) units are typically used to measure data transfer rates within computer systems or between peripheral devices such as hard drives (HDDs), USB drives, or solid-state drives (SSDs).
The "byte per hour" units are less common but can be suitable for scenarios that involve data transfer or data accumulation over extended period of time. For instance, it could be used to measure the rate at which data is written or read from a storage device or backup system.
Similarly to "byte per hour", the "byte per day" units are relevant for scenarios involving long-term data transfers. For example, the "bytes per day" metric is often used to estimate the SSD's expected lifespan based on the volume of written data.
