Convert 8979 gigabytes/second to bytes/second
8979 gigabyte/second = 9641127837696 byte/second
Conversion Process
This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert gigabyte/second to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to byte/second.
Step 1: Convert from gigabyte/second to Bit per Second
8979 × 8589934592 = 77129022701568
Result: 77129022701568 Bit per Second
Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to byte/second
77129022701568 × 0.125 = 9641127837696
Result: 9641127837696 byte/second
Direct Conversion Factor
8979 × 1073741824 = 9641127837696
Direct conversion: 8979 gigabyte/second = 9641127837696 byte/second
Frequently Asked Questions

How to convert 8979 gigabytes/second to bytes/second?
To convert 8979 gigabytes/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 8979 by 1073741824. This gives you 9641127837696 bytes/second.
What is the formula to convert gigabytes/second to bytes/second?
The formula to convert from gigabytes/second to bytes/second using the convention is: bytes/second = gigabytes/second × 1073741824. Using this formula, 8979 gigabytes/second equals 9641127837696 bytes/second.
What is the difference between gigabytes/second and bytes/second?
The main difference between gigabytes/second and bytes/second is that 1 gigabytes/second equals 1073741824 bytes/second using the convention. Note that data storage units commonly use two conventions: the decimal (SI) based on powers of 1000 (kB, MB, GB, etc.) and the binary (IEC) based on powers of 1024 (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). This calculator uses the convention.
Is gigabytes/second bigger than bytes/second?
gigabyte/second is larger than byte/second. Specifically, using the convention, 1 gigabytes/second equals 1073741824 bytes/second.
Why is there confusion between KB and KiB, MB and MiB, etc.?
Historically, "kilobyte" (KB) was often used informally to mean 1024 bytes (2^10). However, the SI prefix "kilo" officially means 1000 (10^3). This led to confusion. The IEC introduced binary prefixes like kibibyte (KiB) specifically for 1024 bytes, mebibyte (MiB) for 1024 KiB, etc., to provide clarity. SI prefixes (kB, MB, GB) are now correctly used for powers of 1000, while IEC prefixes (KiB, MiB, GiB) are used for powers of 1024.
What is the difference between bits and bytes?
A bit is the smallest unit of data, representing a binary value of either 0 or 1. A byte is a common unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Data storage capacity is typically measured in bytes and their larger multiples.
