Question: 1 / 525

What is the transfer rate for IDE?

10MBps

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) has a transfer rate of 10MBps, which stands for Megabytes per second. This is the speed at which data can be exchanged between the computer and the hard drive. The transfer rate for IDE is significantly slower than other modern interfaces, such as SATA or NVMe, which have much higher speeds in the range of GBps (Gigabytes per second). Option B is incorrect because it only mentions "higher" without specifying a specific range, and IDE does not have a transfer rate higher than 16MBps. Option C is incorrect, as it is a slower speed than the correct answer. Option D is incorrect because it is a much higher speed than the correct answer and is not applicable to IDE.
