Gigabit per Second (Gbps)
Gigabits per second (Gbps) is one thousand megabits per second — common for fiber and Ethernet link speeds.
Gbps labels 1 GbE networking, fiber-to-the-home plans, and high-speed datacenter links.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 Gbps = 0.125 GB/s
1 GB/s = 8 Gbps
To convert gigabit per second to gigabyte per second, multiply by 0.125.
To convert gigabyte per second to gigabit per second, multiply by 8.
Example: convert 10 Gbps to GB/s
10 × 0.125 = 1.25 GB/s
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Gigabits per second (Gbps) is one thousand megabits per second — common for fiber and Ethernet link speeds.
Gbps labels 1 GbE networking, fiber-to-the-home plans, and high-speed datacenter links.
Gigabytes per second (GB/s) measures decimal billions of bytes transferred each second — 1 GB/s equals 8 Gbps.
GB/s benchmarks NVMe SSD throughput, GPU memory bandwidth, and high-performance storage arrays.
GB/s = Gbps × 0.125Gbps = GB/s × 8, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any data storage conversion starting from gigabit per second — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
