Transfers per second

In computer technology, transfers per second, megatransfers per second (MT/s), or gigatransfers per second (GT/s) specify the number of data transfer operations per second, the transfer rate, in a data-transfer channel. This is also known as the sample rate, i.e., the number of data samples captured per second, each sample normally occurring at the clock edge. The method of physically accomplishing each data-transfer operation is not specified. They are most commonly used for the transmission of digital data. A single transfer may transmit one or more bits.
