-
Simplifies USB data rates which can range widely depending on the protocol and hardware.
-
Not intended for precise performance measurement or benchmarking.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a megabit per second (SI def.)?
-
It is a unit measuring data transfer rate equivalent to one million bits transmitted per second, commonly used for network speeds.
-
Why convert megabit/second to USB units?
-
To compare data transfer rates of internet or network connections with those of USB interfaces and peripherals.
-
Does this conversion consider different USB versions?
-
No, the conversion uses a single factor and does not account for speed differences across USB generations.
Key Terminology
-
Megabit per second (SI def.)
-
A data transfer rate unit equivalent to one million bits per second, used for quantifying digital communication throughput.
-
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
-
An industry-standard interface and protocol for data exchange and power delivery between host devices and peripherals.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another, often measured in bits per second.
