Convert Bytes per second to Kibibits per second
Convert Bytes per second (B/s) to Kibibits per second (Kibit/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Kibit/s = B/s × 0.0078125
About Bytes per second
Byte per second (B/s) = 8 bit/s. The natural unit for file transfer speeds, disk I/O, and memory bandwidth reported by OS tools and storage benchmarks. ISP 'Mbit/s' ÷ 8 = MB/s download speed: a 100 Mbit/s connection delivers ≈ 12.5 MB/s. USB 2.0 = 60 MB/s; SATA III = 600 MB/s; Thunderbolt 4 = 5,000 MB/s. 1 B/s = 8 bit/s.
About Kibibits per second
Kibibit per second (Kibit/s) = 2¹⁰ = 1,024 bit/s (IEC 80000-13). The binary-precise counterpart to kbit/s for contexts with power-of-2 bus widths. FPGA serial transceivers are clocked at exact powers of 2; embedded UART baud rates sometimes use 1,024-baud increments. Contrasted with kbit/s (= 1,000 bit/s) in ITU/IEEE standards. 1 Kibit/s = 1,024 bit/s = 128 B/s.
