Convert Bits per second to Megabytes per second
Convert Bits per second (bit/s) to Megabytes per second (MB/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MB/s = bit/s × 1.250000000e-7
About Bits per second
Bit per second (bit/s) is the fundamental SI data-rate unit - one binary digit transmitted per second. Shannon's channel capacity C = B log₂(1 + S/N) expresses maximum achievable bit/s. Early RS-232 serial links ran at 110-9,600 bit/s; GSM voice uses 13 kbit/s; a coin-flip entropy source produces 1 bit/s per flip. 1 bit/s = 0.125 B/s = 10⁻³ kbit/s.
About Megabytes per second
Megabyte per second (MB/s) = 10⁶ B/s (SI). Standard for storage benchmarks and USB speeds. NVMe SSDs: Samsung 990 Pro (PCIe 4.0) = 7,450 MB/s; PCIe 5.0 drives = 10,000 MB/s; SATA HDD = 80-220 MB/s. USB 3.2 Gen 1 = 625 MB/s; USB4 Gen 3 = 5,000 MB/s. Memory: DDR5-4800 dual-channel = 76,800 MB/s. A 4K RAW cinema camera generates ≈1,000 MB/s. 1 MB/s = 10⁶ B/s = 8 Mbit/s.
