The kilobit 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 kilobit / s = 103bits / s = 1000 bits / s.
The petabyte per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix peta (symbol P) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1.0 × 1015 (1 quadrillion, short scale), and therefore 1 petabyte per second = 1.0 × 1015 byte per second = 1000000000000000 byte per second. The petabyte per second has the unit symbol PB/s.
