Data Transfer Time Calculator

Work out how long a backup, footage export or file copy takes over a network link.

Allows for protocol overhead and disk speed.

Results

Transfer time: 4 h 56 min

Data you can move in a day: 9.72 TB

Counted in decimal units (1 TB = 1,000 GB), as drive makers do. Over the internet, use the slower of the sending upload speed and the receiving download speed.

How it works

Time is the data in bytes x 8, divided by the link speed in bits per second x the efficiency you expect. The daily figure is the effective speed x 86,400 seconds, divided by 8.
