How to convert

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.

1 MB/s = 0.008 Gbit/s

1 Gbit/s = 125 MB/s

To convert megabyte per second to gigabit per second, multiply by 0.008.

To convert gigabit per second to megabyte per second, multiply by 125.

Example: convert 10 MB/s to Gbit/s

10 × 0.008 = 0.08 Gbit/s

About these units

Short background on the units used in this conversion.

Megabyte per Second (MB/s)

Megabyte per second (MB/s) equals 8×10⁶ bits per second — decimal byte rate, not to be confused with mebibyte per second.

MB/s appears in download managers and disk throughput benchmarks when reporting decimal megabytes.

Frequently asked questions

How many gigabit per seconds are in one megabyte per second?
One megabyte per second equals 0.008 gigabit per seconds. Multiply your megabyte per seconds value by 0.008 to convert to gigabit per seconds.
What is the conversion formula?
Gbit/s = MB/s × 0.008

The reverse is MB/s = Gbit/s × 125, using the same exact factors as this converter.
