GB/s to bps Converter
Convert gigabytes per second (GB/s) to bits per second (bps) — 1 GB/s = 8,000,000,000 bps.
Enter a value in GB/s
Result in bps
Common conversions
| GB/s | bps | Common context |
|---|---|---|

Summary
Convert gigabytes per second (GB/s) to bits per second (bps) — 1 GB/s = 8,000,000,000 bps.
How it works
- Enter a value in gigabytes per second (GB/s) in the input field.
- The converter multiplies your value by 8,000,000,000 — 8 bits per byte times 1,000,000,000 bytes per gigabyte.
- The bps result appears instantly in the output field.
- Use the swap button to convert bps back to GB/s.
- Copy either result to your clipboard with one click.
Use cases
- Convert SSD sequential read speeds (e.g. 7 GB/s on NVMe) into bps for bandwidth calculations.
- Translate memory bandwidth figures from GB/s to bps when comparing CPU architectures.
- Compare PCIe 4.0 and PCIe 5.0 slot throughput in bits per second.
- Convert storage array transfer rates from GB/s into bps for network planning.
- Cross-check manufacturer specs quoted in GB/s against interface limits in bps.
- Validate data pipeline throughput assumptions when designing high-speed systems.
