  • The speed of a secondary storage device is measured by its access time and data transfer rate. Data transfer rate is the amount of data that can Be transferred between main memory and a storage device per second (unit?s bps). The higher the data transfer rate. The faster the reading/writing process is. Whereas, data access time is the average time taken for the device to search and read the required data on the storage medium.
