transfer speed

Bits per second

Transfer speed is the rate at which data moves from one location to another, typically measured in bits or bytes per second: The USB 3.0 port offers faster transfer speeds than the old 2.0.

The term applies to file copying, network connections, and data storage operations.

Factors like cable quality, hardware limitations, and network congestion affect actual transfer speeds, which often fall below advertised maximums.
