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 Kilobytes per second

Kilobyte per second (KB/s) = 1,000 B/s = 8,000 bit/s (SI). Legacy modem throughput: 56 kbit/s dial-up ≈ 7 KB/s; ISDN 128 kbit/s = 16 KB/s. RS-232 at 115,200 baud (8N1) = 11.52 KB/s. CD-ROM 1× = 150 KB/s; 52× = 7,800 KB/s. Bluetooth 2.1 EDR ≈ 300 KB/s; USB 1.1 Full Speed = 1,500 KB/s. 1 KB/s = 1,000 B/s = 8 kbit/s.
