How Long Does 10 TB Take at 10 Gbps?

10 TB takes 2 hours 13 minutes 20 seconds to transfer over a 10 Gbps link at the theoretical line rate.

The calculation

10 TB contains 80,000 gigabits. Dividing by 10 Gbps gives 8,000 seconds.

Real-world planning

A 10 Gbps network does not guarantee 1,250 MB/s end to end. Source and destination storage must also sustain the required rate.
