To convert MB/s to gb/s (MegaBytes per second to Gigabits per second) simply multiply by 8 (8 bits per byte). So 280MB/s is 2.24gbps (moving the decimal place)

- _gabe_ 3y ago> but I always multiply transfers times 10 to estimate bandwidth, since there is some overhead in the TCP/IP protocol
- woooooo 3y ago20%ish seems high though, especially for file transfers which are probably almost all full packets near 1500 MTU cross WAN.
- thcthc 3y agoThere is another variable as well. Most network equipment I've worked with reported throughput with incorrectly labeled kibi/mibi/gibi, and the ISP uses kilo/mega/giga. The former system is multiples of 1024, the latter the mathematical and legal definition of x1000 The X10 rule of thumb is probably pretty spot on at the end
