transfer rates

Bandwidth measurement metrics

Transfer rates measure how quickly data moves from one location to another—typically expressed in bits or bytes per second.

The term appears most often in computing contexts: The USB 3.0 port offers faster transfer rates than the older model.

Transfer rates also apply to other domains where quantities move over time, such as heat transfer in physics or fund transfers in banking.
