What does a megabyte per second (SI def.) represent?

It represents a data transfer rate of one million bytes per second based on decimal SI units.

How is a terabyte per second (SI def.) defined?

A terabyte per second (SI def.) equals one trillion bytes transferred every second.

Why should I use this conversion tool?

It helps translate common data rates into larger units useful for high-performance and large-scale data environments.
