All values are rounded to the nearest significant figure for display purposes.

Conversion Process

This conversion uses Bit per Second as the base unit. We'll first convert USB 2.0 to Bit per Second, then convert from Bit per Second to gigabit/second.

Step 1: Convert from USB 2.0 to Bit per Second

1 × 480000000 = 480000000

Result: 480000000 Bit per Second

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

480000000 × 9.31323e-10 = 0.447

Result: 0.447 gigabit/second

Direct Conversion Factor

1 ÷ 2.24 = 0.447

Direct conversion: 1 USB 2.0 = 0.447 gigabit/second

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How many gigabits/second are in 1 USB 2.0?

    There are 0.447 gigabits/second in 1 USB 2.0.

  • What is 1 USB 2.0 in gigabits/second?

    1 USB 2.0 is equal to 0.447 gigabits/second. To perform this conversion yourself using the convention, multiply 1 by 0.447.

  • How to convert 1 USB 2.0 to gigabits/second?

    To convert 1 USB 2.0 to gigabits/second using the convention, multiply 1 by 0.447. This gives you 0.447 gigabits/second.

  • What is the formula to convert USB 2.0 to gigabits/second?

    The formula to convert from USB 2.0 to gigabits/second using the convention is: gigabits/second = USB 2.0 × 0.447. Using this formula, 1 USB 2.0 equals 0.447 gigabits/second.

  • What is the difference between USB 2.0 and gigabits/second?

    The main difference between USB 2.0 and gigabits/second is that 1 USB 2.0 equals 0.447 gigabits/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 USB 2.0 bigger than gigabits/second?

    gigabit/second is larger than USB 2.0. Specifically, using the convention, 1 USB 2.0 equals 0.447 gigabits/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.
