About Kilobits per second

Kilobit per second (kbit/s) = 1,000 bit/s (SI). The classic unit for narrowband telecoms: dial-up (V.90) = 56 kbit/s; ISDN BRI = 64-128 kbit/s; G.711 VoIP = 64 kbit/s; Opus (WhatsApp, Discord) = 6-510 kbit/s adaptive; Bluetooth Classic = 1,000 kbit/s; Zigbee/Z-Wave = 20-250 kbit/s. 1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s = 125 B/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.
