Data Transfer Speeds
File transfer speed or data transfer speed refers to the speed at which data is transmitted from one source to another. Typically measured in bits or bytes per second. Some of the file transfer speeds are:
Bits per Second(bps): It is the smallest unit of data transfer speed or file transfer speed.
Bytes per Second(Bps): 1Bps = 8bps. 1 byte=8 bits.
Kilobyte per second (KBps): 1kBps= 1024 Bps. 1kB = 1024 Bytes.
Megabyte per second (KBps): 1MBps= 1024 KBps. 1MB = 1024 Kilobytes.
Gigabyte per Second (GBps): 1GBps= 1024 MBps. 1 GB= 1024 Megabytes.
Terabyte per Second (TBps): 1TBps= 1024 GBps. 1 TB= 1024 Gigabytes.
Petabyte per Second (PBps): 1GBps= 1024 Kbps. 1 GB= 1000 Terabytes.
The fastest data transfer speed achieved is 1.84 petabits per second (Pbps) on October 2022. Which is 14720000000 Megabits per second(mbps).

The memory of a Computer is any physical device that is capable of storing information whether it is large or small and stores it temporarily or permanently. For example, Random Access Memory (RAM), is a type of volatile memory that stores information for a short time, on an integrated circuit used by the Operating System.
Memory can be either volatile or non-volatile. Volatile memory is a type of memory that loses its contents when the computer or hardware device is switched off. RAM is an example of a volatile memory i.e. if your computer gets rebooted while working on a program, you lose all the unsaved data. Non-volatile memory is a memory that keeps its contents saved even in the case of power loss. EPROM((Erasable Programmable ROM) is an example of non-volatile memory.
