Kilo Bytes Per Second vs. Kilo Bits Per Second (KBps vs. kbps)

[Billl Gates]

ya macho.. bill hamadama monahari hoda deyak post keranawa... don't just find fault in him guys!!!

RAMESH THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENT . MAL & GAL (Stones & Flowers) mama balaporottu wenewaaa owa gaaanak nehe.

Short and sweet

Kbps=Kilo bits Per Second
KBps=Kilo Bytes Per Second

8 bits = 1 Byte

So x KBps= 8x kbps

512Kbps=64KBps

This is the short note

Your are right Bill.. Great work macho.... Keep it up!!!

Podi deyak.

kilobits/second = kbps = 1000 bits/second
kilobytes/second = kBps = 1000 bytes/second
* k is simple. but M (in mega), G in (giga) and T (in tera) are written in capitals

Really what we and PCs use are;
KiBps and MiBps etc. which are the 1024 multiples of the previous step. kBps and MBps etc. are 1000 multiples of the previous step.

the use of 1000 = 1k for computing.
This was strictly 1024=1k until hardware manufacturers began using the 1000=1k to denote the capacity in for their high capacity disks

well, actually it was always 1000 for kilo. 1024 is for "kibi", but computer manufacturers were the the ones who were using kilo for 1024 multiples wrongfully. you can't use the same name and a different multiple in SI units. well, it is true that "kilo" is easier to use than "kibi" and maybe this is why they used kilo in place of kibi.

Ofcause 1000=1k under SI conventions but in computing, since times of yore its 1024 = 1k.

I disagree. They've come up with another naming convention to remove the obscurity in this whole situation. It's fine to use kilo for 1024 multiples but it is not correct.
