MB V Mb/Mbits What is the difference?
The difference? MB • One is a measure of data storage • Byte 8 bits, 1 ASCII encoded text. • Kilobyte KB or K • Text in Chapter 2 in Beekman reflects 169K of data • Megabyte or meg or MB • Gigabyte or gig or GB • The other is a measure of Data Transfer
Mb • The other is a measure of Data Transfer or memory size • A megabit is 1,000,000 bits • 1/8 the size of a meagbyte
MBps = Megabytes Per Second.Mbps = Megabits Per Second.1Byte = 8 Bits1MBps = 8MbpsExample:21Mbps = (21/8)MBps = 2.625MBps
