How to convert gigabytes per second to gigabits per second
Gbit/s = GB/s × 8Multiply the value in gigabytes per second by 8. To go the other way, multiply by 0.125 (or divide by 8).
A gigabyte per second is larger than a gigabit per second: one gigabyte per second contains 8 gigabits per second.
Worked examples
- 1 gigabyte per second1 GB/s × 8 = 8 Gbit/s
- 5 gigabytes per second5 GB/s × 8 = 40 Gbit/s
- 10 gigabytes per second10 GB/s × 8 = 80 Gbit/s
- 20 gigabytes per second20 GB/s × 8 = 160 Gbit/s
- 100 gigabytes per second100 GB/s × 8 = 800 Gbit/s

About the units
Gigabyte per second (GB/s)
The gigabyte per second (GB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One gigabyte per second equals 8,000,000,000 bits per second (bit/s).
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).
Frequently asked questions
How many gigabits per second are in one gigabyte per second?
There are 8 gigabits per second in one gigabyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert gigabytes per second to gigabits per second?
Multiply the number of gigabytes per second by 8. For example, 10 GB/s × 8 = 80 Gbit/s.
How many gigabytes per second are in one gigabit per second?
One gigabit per second equals 0.125 gigabytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 8.
What is 10 gigabytes per second in gigabits per second?
10 GB/s = 80 Gbit/s.
Is this GB/s to Gbit/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.
