MB/s to Gbps Converter

Convert megabytes per second (MB/s) to gigabits per second (Gbps) instantly — 1 MB/s = 0.008 Gbps.

MB/s to Gbps

Enter megabytes per second to get gigabits per second.

Gbps to MB/s

Enter gigabits per second to get megabytes per second.

Common MB/s to Gbps Reference

MB/s Gbps Typical Use
125 1 1 Gbps Ethernet
500 4 SATA SSD peak
625 5 USB 3.2 Gen 1 limit
1,250 10 10 Gbps Ethernet / USB 3.2 Gen 2
3,500 28 NVMe Gen 3 SSD (typical)
7,000 56 NVMe Gen 4 SSD (typical)

Summary

Convert megabytes per second (MB/s) to gigabits per second (Gbps) instantly — 1 MB/s = 0.008 Gbps.

How it works

  1. Enter a value in megabytes per second (MB/s) in the input field.
  2. The converter multiplies your value by 8 to convert bytes to bits.
  3. It then divides by 1000 to scale from megabits to gigabits.
  4. The result in Gbps appears instantly below the input.
  5. Use the reverse field to convert Gbps back to MB/s.

Use cases

  • Check whether your SSD read speed (e.g. 500 MB/s) fits within a 5 Gbps USB 3.2 interface.
  • Compare disk throughput specs against network link capacity in Gbps.
  • Verify that a 10 Gbps NIC is not a bottleneck for a storage array rated in MB/s.
  • Convert storage benchmark results to the same unit as networking specs.
  • Plan backup or replication jobs by matching disk MB/s to WAN link Gbps.
