Megabytes per Second to Kilobytes per Second

How to convert megabytes per second to kilobytes per second

FormulakB/s = MB/s × 1,000

Multiply the value in megabytes per second by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).

A megabyte per second is larger than a kilobyte per second: one megabyte per second contains 1,000 kilobytes per second.

About the units

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).

Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

The kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer rate in the International System of Units (SI). One kilobyte per second equals 8,000 bits per second (bit/s).

Frequently asked questions

How many kilobytes per second are in one megabyte per second?

There are 1,000 kilobytes per second in one megabyte per second, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert megabytes per second to kilobytes per second?

Multiply the number of megabytes per second by 1,000. For example, 10 MB/s × 1,000 = 10,000 kB/s.

How many megabytes per second are in one kilobyte per second?

One kilobyte per second equals 0.001 megabytes per second. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.

What is 10 megabytes per second in kilobytes per second?

10 MB/s = 10,000 kB/s.

Is this MB/s to kB/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.
