Hello,
I searched the forum but didn't find what I'm looking for.
How many kbps does 6.5 MiB/s correspond to (I'm specifying it's MiB)?
Thank you
Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 12.0

1 MiB = 2^20 bytes (1,048,576 bytes)
1 byte = 8 bits
1 kbit = 1024 bits
It's up to you to continue........
And you probably didn't have to search that much.... => https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet

Thank you for your responses, but it's just that unlike the classic Mo, it is marked Mio, hence my question.
Well, actually no. According to the standard set in 1998 by the International Electrotechnical Commission, it's the opposite. See the wiki page => https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet
In fact, apparently we (including myself) all make the mistake...
The standard defines that:
1 kB = 1000 bytes (I know, it shocks me too... lol)
1 KiB = 1024 bytes

Why does it shock you that a kilogram is 1000, cooyoo?
Let's note in passing that indicating a rate in binary units makes no sense on a serial link.
It only has significance for memory sizes or anything organized in tables of sizes that are multiples of the powers of two.
A serial stream is not related to the powers of two and no manufacturer indicates rates in MiB, because the number is less advantageous (with one MiB containing more data than one MB).

Bring that back to % and it doesn't change much...
On the other hand, it's true that if it were in Euros on my salary, it would be different... lol
That said, machines only understand binary... so for me it will always be:
1 kB = 1024 B and 1 kbit = 1024 bits...
Not to be confused with kB (for the uninitiated) => 1 kB = 1 kB (B for byte in English, byte = octet) => the trick of ISPs to make us dream with the speeds... (they talk to us about mbits/s so that we understand MB/s...)
Furthermore, outside of Windows, all OSes clearly distinguish between kB and KiB.
And to play the purist to the end, a Byte does not mean octet; it is the smallest addressable unit. It turns out that on a PC, a byte is almost always 8 bits, but that’s not necessarily the case. ;-)
Aren't you the one who wanted to get your site hacked?
1 KB = 1024 B and 1 Kbit = 1024 bits......
No,
once again, 1 Kbit/s is 1000 bits/s, it's a speed, not a memory size.
Operators have always expressed their speeds in Kbit/s, so multiples of 1000, not to deceive people but simply because that's the measure:

an ethernet port is not 10 Mibibit/s but 10000000 bit/s
It's a stupid drift to reduce everything in computing to units of 1024.
Telecoms have joined computing, but not necessarily their bad practices.
