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

It measures data transfer rate equal to one terabyte—10^12 bytes—moved each second, often used to describe bandwidth in high-performance computing.

How is megabyte per second (MB/s) defined?

Megabyte per second (MB/s) is the data transfer amount of one megabyte per second, using the decimal system typically, though binary definitions exist.

Why convert from terabyte/second to megabyte/second?

Converting makes it easier to express and compare extremely high data rates with more commonly used smaller units.

Apply conversions consistently when comparing device or network performance.
Consider the context of data transfer to select appropriate units.
Use examples as a reference to validate your conversion results.

Limitations

Megabyte definitions vary between decimal (10^6 bytes) and binary (2^20 bytes), which can affect conversion precision.
This tool uses decimal megabyte definitions following the SI standard.
Very high data rates may require careful consideration of units to avoid complex figures.
