Calculator

Transfer time.

How long a dataset takes to move over your link, raw and compressed.

How it works

What this assumes.

The figures are estimates for planning, not a quote.

Efficiency covers protocol overhead and contention.
Leaves out time to compress and decompress, which runs at GB/s and overlaps the transfer.
