A tebibit per second (Tibit/s) is a unit of data transfer rate equal to 1,024 gibibits per second, 1,048,576 mebibits per second, 1,073,741,824 kibibits per second, or 1,099,511,627,776 bits per second.
[edit] Related units
Another unit of data transmission is the tebibyte per second (TiB/s or Tibyte/s) and is eight times a tebibit per second:
- 1 tebibyte/s = 8 tebibit/s
One tebibit per second should not be confused with one terabit per second:
- 1012 bit/s = 1,000,000,000,000 bit/s = 1 Tbit/s (one terabit or one million million bits per second)
- 240 bit/s = 1,099,511,627,776 bit/s = 1 Tibit/s (one tebibit per second)
