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 terabyte per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix tera (symbol T) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1.0 × 1012 (1 trillion, short scale), and therefore 1 terabyte per second = 1.0 × 1012 byte per second = 1000000000000 byte per second. The terabyte per second has the unit symbol TB/s.
