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 />
