Err what? I don't know the this "Gps" unit is, but if it's 1Gbps (gigabit per second), and a 10GB (gigabyte) file, that's not how it works... it would be 80 seconds.
- madsbuch 5y agoIt should be OK. It says "10Gb" not "10GB", ie. it is a 10 gigabit file. (while it is untraditional to measure file size in bits, it should be perfectly fine)

- mcharawi 5y agoSorry about the typo-you are right it should be Gbps. As for the transfer time, we are just using bits for the file size to make the mental math easier.
