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.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 MB/s = 8 Mbit/s
1 Mbit/s = 0.125 MB/s
To convert megabyte per second to megabit per second, multiply by 8.
To convert megabit per second to megabyte per second, multiply by 0.125.
Example: convert 10 MB/s to Mbit/s
10 × 8 = 80 Mbit/s
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Megabit per Second (Mbit/s)
Megabit per second (Mbit/s) equals 10⁶ bits per second under decimal SI — the standard ISP speed unit.
Mbit/s is how broadband providers quote download and upload speeds — convert to megabyte per second for file-size estimates.
