What does bit/second measure?

Bit per second quantifies the number of binary digits transmitted or processed each second, representing data transfer rate.

Why is terabyte per second defined using SI units?

Terabyte per second (SI) is based on decimal bytes (10^12 bytes) to standardize large data transfer rates in digital systems and high-performance computing.

Can this conversion account for data compression?

No, the conversion assumes raw data rates without considering overhead like compression or encoding.
