Megabytes (MB) to Terabits (Tbit) Conversion
Megabytes
The megabyte (MB) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000 bytes (10⁶ bytes) in the SI decimal definition, or 1,048,576 bytes in binary convention. A minute of CD-quality audio requires approximately 10 MB uncompressed; a typical JPEG photograph ranges from 2 to 8 MB; a standard definition video runs roughly 1 GB per hour. The megabyte was the dominant storage unit for personal computers throughout the 1980s and 1990s before the gigabyte became standard.
Terabits
The terabit (Tbit) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000,000,000,000 bits (10¹² bits). It is used to express the capacity of high-speed backbone network links and submarine cables: major undersea cables connecting continents operate at capacities measured in terabits per second (Tbps). One terabit per second equals 125 gigabytes per second — the scale of internet exchange points and national backbone infrastructure.
