Disk vs Internet usage
Disk vs Internet usage
Claro, puedo ayudarte. La diferencia entre 100MB/s en disco y 900Mbps en internet se debe a cómo se miden las velocidades. El disco duro transmite datos a una tasa de 100MB por segundo, pero cuando usas internet, la velocidad efectiva puede ser mucho mayor debido a la forma en que se envían los datos. En este caso, 900Mbps es la velocidad máxima teórica, pero el sistema puede superarla gracias a la eficiencia y la red.

100MBytes equals 800Mbits. Bytes and megabits can vary depending on whether the letters are in upper or lower case. b represents bits, B stands for bytes, and 8 bits form one byte.
Some individuals realized that even though computers operate on bytes, bits are significantly smaller. A speed of 2 MB/s seems less impressive compared to 16 Mb/s, which is why internet companies offer speeds in bits. This approach feels more amusing and brings everyone joy. Of course, it's not possible to get just half a byte, no matter how you try. You might attempt to download files from the web and pause as many times as you like, but you can't extract only three bytes from an 8-byte block. Still, it doesn’t matter much. HDD manufacturers also provide incorrect measurements. One kilobyte equals 1024 bytes, while they list it as 1000 bytes. That makes more sense. And who needs to worry about 24 bytes? You might be concerned when purchasing a new 4TB hard drive, but the difference becomes enormous—calculating 4 billion bytes divided by 1024 three times gives you roughly 3.72 TB, which is your "4 TB" storage, and that’s why people often question where the bytes disappear.
The rate is measured in bits per second, and when you divide by eight, it becomes bytes per second. This can be around 125 KB/s or roughly 122 KiB/s depending on the unit used. When considering 900 Mbps, it translates to about 112,500 KB/s or 112.5 MB/s. Alternatively, it's approximately 109,863 KiB/s or 107.28 MiB/s. The variations arise from different measurement methods—some use kilobytes, others megabytes. Originally, dial-up modems defined speeds in bauds, then upgraded to kilobits and bits as technology advanced. Hard drive makers often listed capacity in bytes or millions of bytes for simplicity. Due to hardware constraints, programmers had to make trade-offs, such as dividing file sizes into sectors of fixed sizes (like 512 bytes) to fit within memory limits. This approach made calculations simpler and allowed systems to handle data more efficiently.
