transfer rate

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

transfer rate

The transmission speed of a communications or computer channel. Transfer rates are measured in bits or bytes per second. Transfer rate and "data rate" are often used synonymously; however, technically, the transfer rate is often more than the data rate, because control signals may be sent along with data, which decreases the rate of actual data being sent.


transfer rate [′tranz·fər ‚rāt]
(computer science)
The speed at which data are moved from a direct-access device to a central processing unit.
