MB/s to IOPS

How to convert MB/s to IOPS

The formula used for the conversion of MB/s to IOPS is:

IOPS = (Throughput in MB/s * 1024) / IO Block Size

The steps to convert MB/s to IOPS are:

1. Multiply the Throughput in MB/s by 1024 to convert it to KB/s.
2. Divide the result by the IO Block Size in kilobytes (KB).

For example, if you have a throughput of 100 MB/s with an I/O block size of 4KB, the IOPS can be calculated as follows:

1. 100 MB/s * 1024 = 102,400 KB/s
2. 102,400 KB/s / 4 KB = 25,600 IOPS

Let's simplify the calculation:

IOPS = (100 * 1024) / 4 = 25,600 IOPS

Therefore for a throughput of 100 MB/s with an I/O block size of 4 KB, the IOPS would be 25,600.

Note: Throughput to IOPS calculations use Base 2 standards, 1 MB = 1024 KB.
