GB/s to Gbps formula and what each symbol means
Gbit/s = GB/s × 8
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| GB/s | Gigabyte per second |
| Gbit/s | Gigabit per second |
GB/s to Gbps examples
1 GB/s
1 GB/s × 8 = 8 Gbit/s.
10 GB/s
10 GB/s × 8 = 80 Gbit/s.
100 GB/s
100 GB/s × 8 = 800 Gbit/s.
GB/s compared with Gbps
One GB/s is 8 times as large as one Gbit/s, so your number gets bigger when you convert GB/s to gbps and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About GB/s and gbps
Gigabyte per second (GB/s): One billion bytes per second. Gigabit per second (Gbit/s): One billion bits per second.
Where GB/s to gbps conversions are used
Storage interfaces such as SATA, NVMe and USB list rates in MB/s or Gbps. Internet plans are sold in megabits per second, while downloads display megabytes per second.
How to calculate GB/s to Gbps step by step
- Enter the value in GB/s (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 8, because 1 GB/s = 8 Gbit/s.
- The product is the value in Gbit/s. To go back, divide by 8 or multiply by 0.125.

Common mistakes when calculating GB/s to Gbps
- Mixing decimal (MB/s) and binary (MiB/s) units.
- Dividing when you should multiply: from GB/s to Gbit/s multiply by 8; from Gbit/s to GB/s divide by 8.
GB/s to Gbps FAQ
How many Gbit/s are in 1 GB/s?
1 GB/s equals 8 Gbit/s.
How many GB/s are in 1 Gbit/s?
1 Gbit/s equals 0.125 GB/s.
Is 1 GB/s = 8 Gbit/s an exact conversion?
Yes. The gigabyte per second and the gigabit per second are both defined exactly in SI terms, so the ratio has no measurement uncertainty; 8 is just that ratio shown to 7 significant figures.
What is a gigabit per second (Gbit/s)?
One billion bits per second.
How can I estimate GB/s to gbps in my head?
One GB/s is 8 times as large as one Gbit/s, so your number gets bigger when you convert GB/s to gbps and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
What is 12 GB/s in gbps?
12 GB/s = 96 Gbit/s (since 12 × 8).
What is 60 GB/s in gbps?
60 GB/s = 480 Gbit/s (since 60 × 8).
What is 250 GB/s in gbps?
250 GB/s = 2,000 Gbit/s (since 250 × 8).
How many decimals should I keep when converting GB/s to Gbit/s?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 80 Gbit/s rounds to 80 Gbit/s at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
