To convert gigabytes per second to terabits per second, multiply by 0.008. This conversion translates actual file transfer speeds (bytes) to network bandwidth (bits) by accounting for the 8:1 bit-to-byte ratio.
GB/s represents your actual download or transfer speed—what you see in your browser or file manager when copying files.
Tbps is the equivalent network bandwidth. Use this when comparing against ISP plans, sizing network links, or calculating replication bandwidth requirements. Related: Gigabytes Per Second to Gigabits Per Second.
1 GB/s = 0.008 Tbps — or equivalently, 1 Tbps = 125GB/s.

GB/s to Tbps Conversion Formula
Here's the exact GB/s to Tbps formula in copy-paste-ready form — multiply by 0.008 to go from gigabytes per second to terabits per second, or by 125 to reverse it — followed by a quick-reference chart of the same rate conversion.
// Convert GB/s to Tbps
Tbps = GB/s × 0.008
// Reverse: Convert Tbps to GB/s
GB/s = Tbps × 125
Gigabyte Per Second to Terabit Per Second Conversion Examples
10 GB/s = 0.08 Tbps
50 GB/s = 0.4 Tbps
100 GB/s = 0.8 Tbps
500 GB/s = 4 Tbps
1,000 GB/s = 8 Tbps
Most data transfer rate units step by powers of ten: moving up the scale (bps → Kbps → Mbps → Gbps and beyond) means multiply by 1000, moving down means divide by 1000 — usually just a matter of shifting the decimal point. What's actually being counted underneath is bits: the binary digits, 0s and 1s, that make up every network signal.
What Is Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s)? Definition and Uses
A gigabyte per second is 1,000 megabytes per second. Used for NVMe SSDs and high-speed storage.
The gigabyte per second is a byte-based throughput unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: NVMe SSD speeds, PCIe bandwidth, high-performance computing, GPU memory
1 GB/s = 8 × 10⁹ bits per second .
The gigabyte per second can be abbreviated as GB/s; for example, 1 gigabyte per second can be written as 1 GB/s.

What Is Terabit Per Second (Tbps)? Definition and Uses
A terabit per second is 1,000 gigabits per second. Used for backbone networks and data center interconnects.
The terabit per second is a bit-based bandwidth unit measuring data transfer speed, network bandwidth, or throughput capacity. Like the units used to measure file size, it's one of several data measurement units that scale using either decimal multiples of 1,000 (SI) or binary steps of 1,024 (IEC).
Common uses: Backbone networks, submarine cables, data center fabrics, high-speed interconnects
1 Tbps = 1 × 10¹² bits per second .
The terabit per second can be abbreviated as Tbps; for example, 1 terabit per second can be written as 1 Tbps.
Don't confuse Tbps with TB/s (Terabyte Per Second) — capitalization matters here. Tbps measures bits, TB/s measures bytes, and since 1 byte = 8 bits, 1 Tbps works out to just 0.125 TB/s using the same numeral.

SI Decimal Prefixes: How GB/s to Tbps Is Calculated
Both gigabytes per second and terabits per second are SI decimal units, so every prefix step is exactly 1,000 and 1 GB/s = 0.008 Tbps. This is the convention behind advertised link speeds and drive specifications. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8.
| Unit | Standard | Prefix step | 1 unit equals |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gigabyte Per Second (GB/s) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 8,000,000,000 bps |
| Terabit Per Second (Tbps) | SI decimal | 1,000 | 1,000,000,000,000 bps |

1 Terabit Per Second (Tbps) equals 125 Gigabytes Per Second.
-
How do I convert gigabytes per second to terabits per second?
GB/s × 0.008 = Tbps
Multiply the gigabyte per second value by 0.008 to get terabits per second. For example, 10 GB/s = 0.08 Tbps. To convert back (vice versa), multiply terabits per second by 125.
-
What is the difference between gigabytes per second and terabits per second?
GB/s measures actual transfer throughput in bytes per second, while Tbps measures network bandwidth in bits per second. Divide bits by 8 to get bytes.
-
Does GB/s to Tbps use SI decimal or binary prefixes?
Base 10 (SI): 1,000 per step
Both gigabytes per second and terabits per second are SI decimal (base 10) units, so each prefix step is exactly 1,000, giving 1 GB/s = 0.008 Tbps. Because one unit counts bits and the other bytes, the factor also includes a factor of 8. The binary (IEC) versions count in base 2 steps of 1,024 instead.
