Gb Gigabit. A measurement of the rate at which the transfer of bits of data occurs.<br />
Sometimes referred to as Gbps. Nominally, a Gb is a transfer rate of<br />
1,000,000,000 (10 9 ) bits per second.<br />
For Fibre Channel transceivers or FC loops the Gb transfer rates are:<br />
1 Gb is a transmission rate of 1,062,500,000 bits per second.<br />
2 Gb is a transmission rate of 2,125,000,000 bits per second.<br />
GB Gigabyte. A unit of measurement defining either:<br />
A data transfer rate.<br />
A storage or memory capacity of 1,073,741,824 (2 30 ) bytes.<br />

Gbps Gigabits per second. A measurement of the rate at which the transfer of bits of<br />
data occurs. Nominally, a Gb is a transfer rate of 1,000,000,000 (10 9 ) bits<br />
per second.<br />

GBps Gigabytes per second. A measurement of the rate at which the transfer of bytes<br />
of data occurs. A GBps is a transfer rate of 1,000,000,000 (10 9 ) bytes per<br />
second.<br />
