The megabyte 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 megabyte per second = 1.0 × 106 byte per second = 1000000 byte per second. The megabyte per second has the unit symbol MB/s.
The byte per second (B/s) is a unit of data transfer rate.
