What is Transfer rate?

By Dinesh Thakur

The transfer rate, or “data rate” refers to the speed with which data is transferred from its source to its destination, such as from one computer to another over a network, or from the computer to the disk drive. It’s measured like we would measure any rate of speed-in units of information per the unit of time, like miles per hour. On a computer you may hear transfer rates expressed in terms like bits per second, megabytes per second, or characters per second.
