Definitions of data transfer rate:

The number of kilobytes of information that can be transferred each second from the CD-ROM disc or other peripheral to the host computer. A single-speed CD-ROM drive has a data transfer rate of 150 K/sec; a quad-speed drive has 600 K/sec.

The rate at which data is communicated between the tag and the reader. Usually measured in bits per second (bps).

The speed with which data can be read from a CD ROM drive. 150 kilobytes per second was the original standard rate; 2x = 300 kb/second; 4x = 600kb/s (etc.); 12x = 1.8 mb/s; 16x = 2.4 mb/s.

The speed at which a disk drive can transfer information from the drive to the processor, usually measured in megabits or megabytes per second.

The speed of transferred data normally bits per second [top]

A measure of how quickly information can be passed between the computer and another device or between devices. The higher the data transfer rate, the less you'll have to wait for data to get where it needs to go.

Generally, this is the reading speed of the drive. The first CD-ROM drives had a transfer rate of 150 KB/sec. Since then, manufacturers kept multiplying that rate, and are now offering even 12X drives--and even higher speed drives are in the news. DVD specified a raw or minimum transfer rate of about 1.2 GB/sec.

Data Transfer Rate refers to the maximum spped at which digital data can be from device to another.

The average number of bits, characters, or blocks per unit of time transferred from a data source to a data sink.
www.iec-usa.com/Browse02/GLSD.html
(or Data Rate) is the amount of digital data that is moved from one place to another in a given time, usually in a second's time. The data transfer rate can be viewed as the speed of travel of a given amount of data from one place to another. In general, the greater the bandwidth of a given path, the higher the data transfer rate.
www.ucla.cyberstuff.net/glossary_digital_media.htm
In a disk or tape drive, the rate at which data is transferred to or from the storage media. It is usually given in thousands of bits per second (Kbit/second) or millions of bits per second (Mbit/second). See: PIO, DMA or Ultra-DMA for more detail.

The rate that digital data is transferred from one point to another, expressed in bits per second or bytes per second.

In telecommunication, data transfer rate or just transfer rate is the average number of bits, characters, or blocks per unit time passing between equipment in a data transmission system.
