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

978 × 8589934592 = 8400956030976

Result: 8400956030976 Bit per Second

Step 2: Convert from Bit per Second to byte/second

8400956030976 × 0.125 = 1050119503872

Result: 1050119503872 byte/second

Direct Conversion Factor

978 × 1073741824 = 1050119503872

Direct conversion: 978 gigabyte/second = 1050119503872 byte/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many bytes/second are in 978 gigabytes/second?

    There are 1050119503872 bytes/second in 978 gigabytes/second.

  • What is 978 gigabytes/second in bytes/second?

    978 gigabytes/second is equal to 1050119503872 bytes/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 978 by 1073741824.

  • How to convert 978 gigabytes/second to bytes/second?

    To convert 978 gigabytes/second to bytes/second using the convention, multiply 978 by 1073741824. This gives you 1050119503872 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, 978 gigabytes/second equals 1050119503872 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.
