Converting from Kilobyte per second (kB/s) to Kibibyte per second (KiB/s) in Data transfer

What is Kilobyte per second (kB/s)

Kilobyte per second (kB/s) is a unit of data transfer speed that represents the amount of data transferred in kilobytes per second. It is commonly used to measure the speed of data transfer in networks and the internet.

What is Kibibyte per second (KiB/s)

Kibibyte per second (KiB/s) is a unit of data transfer speed that represents the amount of data transferred in kibibytes per second. It is a binary multiple of the byte unit, where 1 kibibyte is equal to 1024 bytes.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Kilobyte per second (kB/s) and Kibibyte per second (KiB/s) can be done using the following formulas:

• To convert from kB/s to KiB/s: KiB/s=kB/s×0.9765625

• To convert from KiB/s to kB/s: kB/s=KiB/s×1.024

Examples

1. Converting 7 kB/s to KiB/s:

KiB/s=7×0.9765625=6.835938

2. Converting 4 KiB/s to kB/s:

kB/s=4×1.024=4.096

3. Converting 11 kB/s to KiB/s:

KiB/s=11×0.9765625=10.74219

Conclusion

Use these conversion formulas to easily convert data transfer speeds from Kilobytes per second (kB/s) to Kibibytes per second (KiB/s) and vice versa.
