What does terabyte per second (SI def.) represent?

It is a data rate unit equal to one terabyte (10^12 bytes) transferred every second, equivalent to 8 terabits per second.

Why convert terabyte/second to gigabyte/second?

Because gigabyte/second values are useful for expressing more detailed performance metrics in devices and networks that specify throughput at smaller scales.

Are these units based on binary or decimal prefixes?

Both terabyte/second and gigabyte/second here use SI decimal prefixes, not binary-based units.
