Hashrate units are used to describe how quickly a mining device can perform cryptographic calculations. In cryptocurrency mining, a higher hashrate means the miner can process more hashes per second, increasing the probability of successfully mining a block. Depending on the mining algorithm and hardware type, hashrates are commonly expressed using different metric units such as kH/s, MH/s, GH/s, TH/s, and beyond.

Common hashrate unit conversions:

kH/s (Kilohash per second) = 1,000 H/s

MH/s (Megahash per second) = 1,000,000 H/s

GH/s (Gigahash per second) = 1,000,000,000 H/s

TH/s (Terahash per second) = 1,000,000,000,000 H/s
