How to convert gigabits per second to megabytes per second
MB/s = Gbit/s × 125Multiply the value in gigabits per second by 125. To go the other way, multiply by 0.008 (or divide by 125).
A gigabit per second is larger than a megabyte per second: one gigabit per second contains 125 megabytes per second.

About the units
Gigabit per second (Gbit/s)
One billion bits per second; fibre broadband and Ethernet ports are rated in Gbps. One gigabit per second equals 1,000,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
Megabyte per second (MB/s)
One million bytes per second — what download managers and disk benchmarks usually show. One megabyte per second equals 8,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
Frequently asked questions
How many megabytes per second are in one gigabit per second?
There are 125 megabytes per second in one gigabit per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert gigabits per second to megabytes per second?
Multiply the number of gigabits per second by 125. For example, 10 Gbit/s × 125 = 1,250 MB/s.
How many gigabits per second are in one megabyte per second?
One megabyte per second equals 0.008 gigabits per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 125.
What is 10 gigabits per second in megabytes per second?
10 Gbit/s = 1,250 MB/s.
Is this Gbit/s to MB/s converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
