Definitions
megabyte per second (MB/s)
A unit of data transfer speed equal to 8 megabits per second.
Megabytes per second (MB/s) is often used to measure file transfer speeds or disk I/O. It is important to distinguish this from Mbps (megabits per second), which is 8 times slower.
megabit per second (Mbit/s)
Standard unit for internet connection speeds.
Megabits per second (Mbps or Mbit/s) is the standard unit for measuring bandwidth and internet connection speeds. One megabit per second corresponds to transferring one million bits every second.
byte per second (B/s)
8 bits per second.
One byte per second (B/s) is a rate equal to eight bits per second. It is commonly used in low-level data transfer contexts.
bit per second (bps)
The base unit of data rate. Formally bit/s.
Bit per second (bps) is the primary unit of data transfer rate. While 'bps' is common in informal contexts, 'bit/s' is the formal abbreviation. It should not be confused with B/s (byte per second), where 1 B/s = 8 bps. It is also distinct from 'baud', which refers to symbol rate.
gibibit per second (Gibit/s)
Binary data rate unit (2^30 bits per second).
Gibibit per second (Gibit/s) is a binary unit of data rate defined by the IEC. Unlike the decimal gigabit (10^9 bits), the gibibit is exactly 2^30 bits (1,073,741,824 bits).
