How to convert gigabytes per hour to gigabits per second?

To convert 1 Gigabyte per hour to Gigabits per second, you need to understand the relationship between bytes and bits, as well as the time conversion between hours and seconds.

Base 10 (Decimal) Conversion

  1. Convert Gigabytes to Gigabits:

    • Since 1 Gigabyte = 1000 Megabytes and 1 Megabyte = 8 Megabits (because there are 8 bits in a byte), therefore, 1 Gigabyte = 8 * 1000 Megabits = 8000 Megabits.
    • So, 1 Gigabyte = 8000 Megabits / 1000 = 8 Gigabits.

  2. Convert hours to seconds:

    • 1 hour = 60 minutes and 1 minute = 60 seconds, therefore, 1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.

  3. Calculate the Data Transfer Rate:

    • If you have 8 Gigabits in 3600 seconds, then the rate in Gigabits per second (Gbps) is 8 Gigabits / 3600 seconds ≈ 0.00222 Gbps or 2.22 Mbps.

Base 2 (Binary) Conversion

  1. Convert Gigabytes to Gigabits:

    • In base 2 (binary), 1 Gigabyte (GiB) = 1024 Megabytes (MiB) and 1 Megabyte (MiB) = 8 Megabits (Mib), therefore, 1 Gigabyte (GiB) = 1024 * 8 Megabits = 8192 Megabits.
    • So, 1 Gigabyte (GiB) = 8192 Megabits / 1024 = 8 Gigabits (Gib).

  2. Convert hours to seconds:

    • As before, 1 hour = 60 * 60 = 3600 seconds.

  3. Calculate the Data Transfer Rate:

    • If you have 8 Gigabits in 3600 seconds, then the rate in Gigabits per second (Gibps) remains the same as before: 8 Gigabits / 3600 seconds ≈ 0.00222 Gibps or 2.22 Mibps.

Real World Examples:

  • Streaming Video:

    • A typical Full HD (1080p) video stream from a service such as Netflix might require around 3-5 Gigabytes per hour. Using the base 10 calculations:
      • 3 GB per hour = 3 * 8 / 3600 = 0.00667 Gbps or 6.67 Mbps.
      • 5 GB per hour = 5 * 8 / 3600 = 0.0111 Gbps or 11.11 Mbps.

  • Downloading a Game:

    • Consider a game that's 50 Gigabytes in size. If your download speed is calculated for an average spread over one hour:
      • 50 GB per hour = 50 * 8 / 3600 = 0.111 Gbps or 111 Mbps.

  • Cloud Backups:

    • A backup service uploading 100 Gigabytes of data over the course of 4 hours:
      • 100 GB / 4 hours = 25 GB per hour.
      • 25 GB per hour = 25 * 8 / 3600 = 0.0556 Gbps or 55.6 Mbps.

These conversions help understand real data transfer requirements and plan network capacities accordingly.

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 Gigabits per second 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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 gigabits per second?

Gigabits per second (Gbps) is a unit of measurement for digital data transfer rates.

1 Gbps is equivalent to:

  • 1 billion bits per second
  • 125 megabytes per second (MB/s)
  • 1000 megabits per second (Mbps)

To put it in perspective, here are some common examples of data transfer rates and their corresponding gigabits per second values:

  • A typical household internet connection: 10-100 Mbps (~0.01-0.1 Gbps)
  • Fast Ethernet: 1 Gbps
  • Gigabit Ethernet: 1 Gbps
  • Fiber-optic internet connections: 5-10 Gbps (commonly marketed as "gigabit" internet, but actually much faster)
  • High-speed fiber-optic networks: 40-100 Gbps or more

Gbps is often used to describe the bandwidth of computer networks, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections, as well as the performance of storage devices like solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs).
