byte per second

This gives a total of 3 million bytes per second actually transferred by the hardware.

Simple arithmetic quickly tells us that this is equivalent to an average data transfer of 150,000 bytes per second.

Except when they're bytes per second?

This is typically measured in multiples of the unit bit per second or byte per second.

The Datasette was very slow albeit extremely reliable, transferring data at around 50 bytes per second, and even the C1541 was significantly faster.

Data rate - The data rate is the number of bytes per second that the drive can deliver to the CPU.

Throughput in bytes per second (depending on file size, cached or not cached content, available network bandwidth, etc.).

Nowadays it's more usual to use the term bps (bits per second) or Bps (bytes per second).

Bandwidth management is measured in bits per second (bps) or Bytes per second (Bps).

Modern CPUs running at speeds of about 1 gigahertz can consume massive amounts of data - potentially billions of bytes per second.

More than 16 fiber providers have a physical presence at the Infomart, allowing 8,700 strands of fiber into the building with bandwidth capacity near 26 trillion bytes per second.

Hence, it is not possible to specify a specific emission interval for variable length packets, and the bandwidth limit has to be specified explicitly, in bits or bytes per second.

For example, copying 1 million bytes from one location in memory to another location in memory in one second would be counted as 1 million bytes per second.

"A single SkyTower platform can provide over 1,000 times the fixed broadband local access capacity of a geostationary satellite using the same frequency band, on a bytes per second per square mile basis."

Modems are generally classified by the amount of data they can send in a given unit of time, usually expressed in bits per second (bit/s, or bps), or bytes per second (B/s).

Using the previous 1 million byte copy example, the stream bandwidth would be counted as 1 million bytes read plus 1 million bytes written in one second, for a total of 2 million bytes per second.

Considering the transmission of three additional bits per data byte and the pauses before and after the start bit, this results in a usable data rate of 102 bytes per second, and about 6 kilobytes per minute.

Binary prefixes have almost never been used for bit rates, although they may occasionally be seen when data rates are expressed in bytes per second (e.g. 1 kByte/s is sometimes interpreted as 1000 Byte/s, sometimes as 1024 Byte/s).

As other bit rates and data bandwidths, the asymptotic throughput is measured in bits per second (bit/s or bps), very seldom bytes per second (Byte/s or Bps), where 1 Byte/s is 8 bit/s.

Network Instruments was the first company that achieved sustained full duplex 10 GBit capture of all network traffic to disk ( 20 GBit/s or over 2.6 Giga Bytes per second on GigaStor 192 TeraByte drive array).

An important aspect of this, setting Unix pipes apart from other pipe implementations, is the concept of buffering: for example a sending program may produce 5000 bytes per second, and a receiving program may only be able to accept 100 bytes per second, but no data is lost.
