Tebibits per second to Gigabytes per second conversion

How to convert tebibits per second to gigabytes per second?

Sure, let's walk through the conversion from Tebibits per second (Tibps) to Gigabytes per second (GBps).

1 Tebibit (Tib) is defined as $2^{40}$ bits.

Base 2: 1 Gibibyte (GiB) = $2^{30}$ bytes 1 byte = 8 bits

1 Tebibit per second to Gigabytes per second (base 2):

• First convert Tebibits to bits per second: $1 \text{ Tibps} = 2^{40} \text{ bits/second}$
• Convert bits to bytes (there are 8 bits in a byte): $2^{40} \text{ bits/second} \div 8 = 2^{37} \text{ bytes/second}$
• Convert bytes to GiB (1 GiB = $2^{30}$ bytes): $2^{37} \text{ bytes/second} \div 2^{30} = 2^{7} \text{ GiB/second}$ $2^{7} = 128 \text{ GiB/second}$

Base 10: In base 10, units are based on powers of 10.

1 Terabit (Tb) = $10^{12}$ bits 1 Gigabyte (GB) = $10^{9}$ bytes

1 Tebibit per second to Gigabytes per second (base 10):

• First convert Tebibits to bits per second: $1 \text{ Tibps} = 2^{40} \text{ bits/second} = 1099511627776 \text{ bits/second}$
• Convert bits to bytes (there are 8 bits in a byte): $1099511627776 \text{ bits/second} \div 8 = 137438953472 \text{ bytes/second}$
• Convert bytes to GB (1 GB = $10^{9}$ bytes): $137438953472 \text{ bytes/second} \div 10^9 = 137.438953472 \text{ GB/second}$

So, to summarize:

• Base 2: 1 Tebibit per second = 128 GiB per second
• Base 10: 1 Tebibit per second = 137.44 GB per second

Real-World Examples of Various Quantities of Tebibits per Second:
