How to convert gigabytes per hour to bits per hour?

To convert 1 Gigabyte per hour (GB/h) to bits per hour (b/h), we need to understand that a Gigabyte (GB) can be quantified differently depending on whether we are using the base-10 (decimal) system or the base-2 (binary) system. Let's break down both conversions step-by-step.

Base-10 (Decimal) Conversion

1 GB in base-10 is defined as: $1 \text{ GB} = 10^9 \text{ bytes} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ bytes}$

We know that: $1 \text{ byte} = 8 \text{ bits}$

So, converting bytes to bits: $1 \text{ GB} = 1,000,000,000 \text{ bytes} \times 8 \text{ bits/byte} = 8,000,000,000 \text{ bits}$

Since this is a per hour rate: $1 \text{ GB/h (base-10)} = 8,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h}$

Base-2 (Binary) Conversion

1 GB in base-2 is defined as: $1 \text{ GiB} = 2^{30} \text{ bytes} = 1,073,741,824 \text{ bytes}$

Similarly, $1 \text{ byte} = 8 \text{ bits}$

So, converting bytes to bits: $1 \text{ GiB} = 1,073,741,824 \text{ bytes} \times 8 \text{ bits/byte} = 8,589,934,592 \text{ bits}$

Since this is a per hour rate: $1 \text{ GiB/h (base-2)} = 8,589,934,592 \text{ bits/h}$

Recap

Base-10 (Decimal):
- 1 GB/h = 8,000,000,000 bits/h
Base-2 (Binary):
- 1 GiB/h = 8,589,934,592 bits/h

Real-World Examples

To get a better understanding, let's look at some other common quantities:

Streaming HD video (estimations, can vary):
- HD video streaming typically uses about 3 GB/hour.
- Base-10: 3 GB/h = $3 \times 8,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h} = 24,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h}$
- Base-2: 3 GiB/h = $3 \times 8,589,934,592 \text{ bits/h} = 25,769,803,776 \text{ bits/h}$
Large data backups:
- Suppose a system backs up 50 GB every hour.
- Base-10: 50 GB/h = $50 \times 8,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h} = 400,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h}$
- Base-2: 50 GiB/h = $50 \times 8,589,934,592 \text{ bits/h} = 429,496,729,600 \text{ bits/h}$
Downloading large files:
- Downloading a large dataset at a rate of 10 GB/hour.
- Base-10: 10 GB/h = $10 \times 8,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h} = 80,000,000,000 \text{ bits/h}$
- Base-2: 10 GiB/h = $10 \times 8,589,934,592 \text{ bits/h} = 85,899,345,920 \text{ bits/h}$

These examples should help illustrate how much data is being transferred in terms of bits per hour.

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 bits per hour to other unit conversions.

What is gigabytes per hour?

GB/h (gigabytes per hour) is a unit of measurement that represents the rate at which data is transferred, downloaded, or uploaded. It's often used in various contexts:

Internet Speed: GB/h can represent the average download speed of an internet connection, indicating how much data (in gigabytes) is being transferred to a device per hour.
Data Transfer Rates: In scientific and engineering applications, GB/h might be used to express the rate at which data is transferred from one system or device to another, such as in computer networking, cloud storage, or data streaming.
Content Distribution: The term might also appear in discussions about content delivery networks (CDNs), where it's used to describe the rate at which video or audio content is distributed to end-users.

To give you a better idea of what GB/h represents:

1 GB/h is equivalent to 2.222 MB/s (megabytes per second)
To put this in perspective, standard internet speeds are typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps). A rough estimate would be:
- Fast broadband: ~100-500 Mbps (~13-67 MB/s) ≈ 45-225 GB/h
- Slow broadband: ~10-50 Mbps (~1.3-6.7 MB/s) ≈ 4.5-22.5 GB/h

Keep in mind that these are rough estimates and actual speeds may vary greatly depending on your specific internet connection.

Now you know what gigabytes per hour (GB/h) represents!

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.
