Gigabyte → Megabyte

MB = GB × 1024

Gigabyte → Terabyte

TB = GB × 0.000976563

Terabyte → Gigabyte

GB = TB × 1024

Formula

bits = TB × 8796093022208

A terabyte equals 8.8 trillion bits — since 1 TB = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes and 1 byte = 8 bits. At 100 Gbps network speeds, a 1 TB file transfers in ~704 ms (8.8 Tb ÷ 100 Gbps = 0.704 s). This conversion is essential for high-speed networking and HPC data movement planning.
