How to convert bits per hour to terabytes per day?

To convert from bits per hour (bph) to Terabytes per day (TB/day), you need to account for the conversion factors between bits, bytes, and time units (hours to days).

Base 10 (Decimal):

In the decimal system (base 10), 1 Terabyte (TB) is equal to 101210^{12} bytes. To convert 1 bit per hour to Terabytes per day:

  1. Calculate the number of hours in a day: 1 day=24 hours1 \text{ day} = 24 \text{ hours}

  2. Calculate the total number of bits per day: 1 bit/hour×24 hours/day=24 bits/day1 \text{ bit/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 24 \text{ bits/day}

  3. Convert bits to bytes. There are 8 bits in a byte: Bytes per day=24 bits/day8 bits/byte=3 bytes/day\text{Bytes per day} = \frac{24 \text{ bits/day}}{8 \text{ bits/byte}} = 3 \text{ bytes/day}

  4. Convert bytes to Terabytes: TB per day=3 bytes/day1012 bytes/TB=3×1012 TB/day\text{TB per day} = \frac{3 \text{ bytes/day}}{10^{12} \text{ bytes/TB}} = 3 \times 10^{-12} \text{ TB/day}

So, in the base 10 system, 1 bit per hour is equal to 3×10123 \times 10^{-12} Terabytes per day.

Base 2 (Binary):

In the binary system (base 2), 1 Terabyte (TB) is equal to 2402^{40} bytes. To convert 1 bit per hour to Tebibytes (TiB) per day:

  1. Calculate the number of hours in a day: 1 day=24 hours1 \text{ day} = 24 \text{ hours}

  2. Calculate the total number of bits per day: 1 bit/hour×24 hours/day=24 bits/day1 \text{ bit/hour} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} = 24 \text{ bits/day}

  3. Convert bits to bytes. There are 8 bits in a byte: Bytes per day=24 bits/day8 bits/byte=3 bytes/day\text{Bytes per day} = \frac{24 \text{ bits/day}}{8 \text{ bits/byte}} = 3 \text{ bytes/day}

  4. Convert bytes to Tebibytes: TiB per day=3 bytes/day240 bytes/TiB=3240 TiB/day\text{TiB per day} = \frac{3 \text{ bytes/day}}{2^{40} \text{ bytes/TiB}} = \frac{3}{2^{40}} \text{ TiB/day} TB per day=31,099,511,627,776 TiB/day2.73×1012 TiB/day\text{TB per day} = \frac{3}{1,099,511,627,776} \text{ TiB/day} \approx 2.73 \times 10^{-12} \text{ TiB/day}

So, in the base 2 system, 1 bit per hour is approximately equal to 2.73×10122.73 \times 10^{-12} Tebibytes per day.

Real-world Examples

1. Internet Data Transfer:

  • 100,000,000 bits/hr: High-speed home internet might transfer around 100 Mbps. 100,000,000 bits/hr=12.5 MB/hr100,000,000 \text{ bits/hr} = 12.5 \text{ MB/hr} Converting that to Terabytes per day:
    • Base 10: 300×106 TB/day=0.0003 TB/day300 \times 10^{-6} \text{ TB/day} = 0.0003 \text{ TB/day}
    • Base 2: 3002400.000273 TiB/day\frac{300}{2^{40}} \approx 0.000273 \text{ TiB/day}

2. File Download:

  • 2,000,000 bits/hr: Downloading files or media at a slower rate. 2,000,000 bits/hr=250 kB/hr2,000,000 \text{ bits/hr} = 250 \text{ kB/hr} Converting that to Terabytes per day:
    • Base 10: 60×109 TB/day=0.00000006 TB/day60 \times 10^{-9} \text{ TB/day} = 0.00000006 \text{ TB/day}
    • Base 2: 602400.000000054 TiB/day\frac{60}{2^{40}} \approx 0.000000054 \text{ TiB/day}

3. Very Low Data Transfer:

  • 1 bit/hr: Sensor data transmitting once per hour. 1 bit/hr=3×1012 TB/day (Base 10)1 \text{ bit/hr} = 3 \times 10^{-12} \text{ TB/day} \ (Base \ 10) 1 bit/hr2.73×1012 TiB/day (Base 2)1 \text{ bit/hr} \approx 2.73 \times 10^{-12} \text{ TiB/day} \ (Base \ 2)

These examples demonstrate how varying rates of data transfer (in bits per hour) translate into much larger time periods (such as days) when measured in Terabytes, taking into account the large size difference between bits and Terabytes.

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the Terabytes per day to other unit conversions.

What is bits per hour?

"Bits per hour" (BPH) is a measure of data transfer or storage capacity, but it's not as commonly used in everyday conversations as other units like bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (kbps), megabits per second (mbps), gigabits per second (gbps), etc.

If we break down the term:

  • "Bits" refer to the basic unit of digital information, similar to bytes but smaller. One bit can have a value of either 0 or 1.
  • "Per hour" indicates that the measurement is for an amount of data transferred or stored over the course of one hour.

In technical and computing contexts, you might encounter terms like:

  • Bits per second (bps), which measures how much data can be transferred in a second. This is commonly seen in networking and communication protocols.
  • Kilobits per second (kbps) or megabits per second (mbps) for larger bandwidths.

The term "bits per hour" could theoretically refer to the rate at which bits are processed, stored, or transmitted over a period of one hour. However, it's not a standard unit in computer science or networking and is therefore not commonly used.

What is terabytes per day?

Terabytes (TB) are a unit of digital information, equivalent to 1 trillion bytes. To put it into perspective:

  • 1 TB = 1,000 GB (gigabytes)
  • 1 TB = 1,000,000 MB (megabytes)

When we talk about terabytes per day (TB/day), we're referring to the amount of data that can be transferred or stored in a single day.

To give you an idea of just how much that is, consider this:

  • A typical 4K movie takes up around 100-150 GB. So, if we were to compress and store 10 movies per day (a rough estimate), that would still only be about 1 TB/day.
  • The average person uses around 2-3 GB of data per hour on their smartphone or computer. Assuming an 8-hour workday and some personal use, that's approximately 16-24 GB per day for a single individual. For a large organization or group, this number can add up quickly!
  • In the context of cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Amazon S3, 1 TB/day is a significant volume. It would correspond to storing and transferring around 100,000 to 200,000 files (assuming an average file size of 5-10 MB).

To make it even more concrete:

  • If you were to store 1 TB of data every day for a year, that's equivalent to storing around 365 TB (terabytes) per year.
  • In the context of video streaming, if you were to stream 1000 hours of 4K content every day, that would also be approximately 1 TB/day.

Keep in mind that these examples are rough estimates and can vary depending on specific use cases.
