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.

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
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
Gbit/s = MB/s × 0.008MB/s = Gbit/s × 125, using the same exact factors as this converter.
