How fast a disk drive or CD drive can transfer information to the CPU. May be a burst rate or sustained rate. High cache levels (8 meg) or larger assist in providing information to the CPU at fast rates, important when building large composites in any NLE.

The speed at which information can be sent across a bus or communications link.

The speed at which a certain volume of data is transferred from a device such as a DVD-ROM drive to a host such as a personal computer. Usually measured in bits per second or bytes per second.

The rate at which the hard drive sends and receives data from the controller. Processing, head switches, and seeks are all figured into the transfer rate in order to accurately portray drive performance. The burst mode transfer rate is separate from transfer rate, as it refers only to the transfer of data into RAM.

A measurement of the average number of bytes per unit of time passing between disk storage and the computer's memory.

The rate at which bytes or bits are transferred, usually expressed as MB/s

How many MB of data can be transferred from the read/write heads to the disk controller in a single second (not to be confused with drive-to-host adapter transfer rate). Measured in megabytes per second MB/Sec.

the number of megabytes of data that can be transferred from the read/write heads to the disk controller in one second.

The measurement of how fast a hard drive reads data and transfers it to the system.

This is a 2.5MB/sec burst for read and write at 20MHz, the maximum clock rate. Sustained transfer rates depend on individual card manufacturers' products.

The rate at which data is transferred to or from memory.

The amount of data that can be transmitted in a given amount of time (typically one second). For wireless technology, the typical unit of measure is Megabits per second (Mb/s).

A measure of how much information a device (usually a disk drive) can transfer from the disk to your computer's memory in a second. A good transfer rate is in the range of 500 to 600K/s. The higher the number, the faster the drive. See also access time.

The speed at which a disk drive can transfer information between its platters and your CPU. The transfer rate is typically measured in megabytes per second, megabits per second, or megahertz.

The rate at which data can be transferred, usually expressed as Kilobits per second (Kbps) or bytes per second (Bps).

The speed with which data can be transmitted from one device to another. Data rates are often measured in megabits (million bits ) or megabytes (million bytes ) per second. These are usually abbreviated as Mbps and MBps, respectively.

The amount of data which is transferred from the CD-ROM to the computer. The CD- ROM transfer rate is limited by the speed at which the disc rotates in the drive. The conventional CD-ROM transfer rate is approximately 150 kilobytes/sec, referred to as 1X. Therefore, a quadruple speed (4X) CD-ROM drive can transfer data at a rate of 600 KB/sec.

the rate or speed at which information is written to tape, typically expressed in MB/minute or bytes/second

Speed with which a line carries data and information. 9.26

n. The rate at which a circuit or a communications channel transfers information from source to destination, as over a network or to and from a disk drive. Transfer rate is measured in units of information per unit of time--for example, bits per second or characters per second--and can be measured either as a raw rate, which is the maximum transfer speed, or as an average rate, which includes gaps between blocks of data as part of the transmission time.
