Petabytes to Gigabits Converter
How to convert petabytes to gigabits
gigabits = petabytes × 8,000,000
To convert petabytes to gigabits, multiply the number of petabytes by 8,000,000.
1 PB = 8,000,000 Gbit
Examples
- 1 PB × 8,000,000 = 8,000,000 Gbit
Good to know
Decimal (SI) unit based on powers of 1000, as used by drive manufacturers. Windows reports sizes in binary units (powers of 1024) but labels them "KB", "MB", "GB" and "TB", so the same file or drive shows a smaller number there.
A unit of bits, not bytes: 8 bits make 1 byte. Bit units are used for transfer speeds, byte units for file and storage sizes.

Unit definitions
- Petabyte (PB)
- A petabyte is 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (1000 terabytes). It is used for the storage of data centers and large archives.
- Gigabit (Gbit)
- A gigabit is 1,000,000,000 bits, equal to 125,000,000 bytes. It is used for fast network links such as gigabit Ethernet and fiber broadband.
