The megabit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix mega (symbol M) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1.0 × 106 (1 million, short scale), and therefore 1 megabit per second = 1.0 × 106 bit per second = 1000000 bit per second. The megabit per second has the unit symbol Mbit/s.
The gibibyte per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix gibi (symbol Gi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 8 × 230, and therefore 1 gibibyte per second = 8 × 230 byte per second = 1073741824 byte per second. The gibibyte per second has the unit symbol GiB/s.
