Gigabits per Second to Megabytes per Second Converter
1 gigabit per second = 125 megabytes per second
1 gigabit per second equals 125 megabytes per second
How to convert gigabits per second to megabytes per second
A byte per second is eight bits per second. Decimal Mbps and MB/s use powers of 1000; MiB/s uses a binary prefix. These are equivalent nominal rates; protocol overhead and network conditions affect achieved file-transfer speed.
MB/s = Gbit/s × 125One gigabit per second is 125 megabytes per second, so a single multiplication converts any value.
1,250 MB/s = 10 × 125Gigabits per second to megabytes per second conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
