The kilobyte per second is a the unit bit for data transfer rate. The prefix kilo- (symbol k) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 103 (1 thousand), and therefore, 1 kilobyte / s = 8 kilobits / s = 8000 bits / s.
The kibibit per second is a unit of data transfer rate, using the standard binary prefix kibi, which has the symbol Ki, meaning 210. The unit symbol of the kibibit per second is Kibit / s. 1 kibibit / s = 210 bits / s = 1,024 bits / s.
