Another unit of data transmission is the terabyte per second (TB/s, TBps, or Tbyte/s). As "terabyte" has two possible meanings, the relation of Tbit/s to TB/s can be either of the following: A terabyte (derived from the SI prefix tera-) is a measurement term for data storage capacity equal to approximately one trillion (short scale) bytes. ...

• Where 1 terabyte is considered 1,000,000,000,000 bytes
  • 1 terabyte per second = 8 Tbit/s.
• Where 1 terabyte is considered 1,099,511,627,776 bytes (as in computer file storage)
  • 1 terabyte per second ≈ 8.80 Tbit/s.

Because of this discrepancy, the use of "bit-rates" is strongly recommended for all discussions of data transfer speeds, as bits per second (bps) is standardized on base-10 numbers. In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (sometimes written bitrate) is the frequency at which bits are passing a given (physical or metaphorical) point. It is quantified using the bit per second (bit/s) unit. ... Decimal, or denary, notation is the most common way of writing the base 10 numeral system, which uses various symbols for ten distinct quantities (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9, called digits) together with the decimal point and the sign symbols + (plus) and − (minus) to...
