How Long Does 100 GB Take at 1 Gbps?

100 GB takes 13 minutes 20 seconds to transfer over a 1 Gbps link at the theoretical line rate.

The calculation

100 GB is 800 gigabits. Dividing by 1 gigabit per second gives 800 seconds, or 13 minutes 20 seconds.

Real-world planning

Real transfers can take longer because of protocol overhead, storage speed, latency, congestion and other traffic.
