Enter the value in Gigabit and the tool will provide the Megabyte equivalent
Notation
- Gigabit is written as Gbit or Gb
- Megabyte is written as Mbyte or sometimes MB
How many Megabytes in a Gigabit?
- 1 Gbit = 1000 Mbit
- 8 Mbit = 1 Mbyte
therefore,
- 1 Gbit = 103 ÷ 8 = 125 Mbyte
Background
Gigabit is a unit that’s often used in communication systems. It is used to specify the Speed of an Internet Connection or hardware that’s used to connect to the Internet.
Megabyte is a unit that’s used for computer storage. For instance a 64 MB flash memory card shown below
Examples
In the world of networks, the use of Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) technology is used to transmit data at a rate of many Gigabits per second. There are networking technologies in the market today that support 100 Gigabit per second.
Use this tool to find the time to transfer any number of MB over Gigabit Ethernet.
