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.
About Pebibytes per second
Pebibyte per second (PiB/s) = 2⁵⁰ B/s ≈ 1.126 × 10¹⁵ B/s (IEC 80000-13). NTT's 2024 lab record (1.53 Pbit/s ≈ 191 TB/s ≈ 0.17 PiB/s) is the closest any physical link has come. An exascale cluster with 10,000 nodes × 10 TiB/s each ≈ 97.7 PiB/s aggregate - approaching this range in the aggregate, not a single link. From a physics standpoint, requires ≈ 10 million NVMe SSDs in parallel. 1 PiB/s = 2⁵⁰ B/s ≈ 8 Pibit/s.
