The mebibit per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix mebi (symbol Mi) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 220, and therefore 1 mebibit per second = 220 bit per second = 1048576 bit per second. The mebibit per second has the unit symbol Mibit/s.
The gigabyte per second is a multiple of the unit bit for Data Transfer Rate. The prefix giga (symbol G) is defined in the International System of Units (SI) as a multiplier of 1.0 × 109 (1 billion, short scale), and therefore 1 gigabyte per second = 1.0 × 109 byte per second = 1000000000 byte per second. The gigabyte per second has the unit symbol GB/s.
