Write/read speed

Write and read speeds refer to how quickly data can be saved to or retrieved from a storage device like a hard drive or SSD. Think of it as the speed at which you can put files into storage (write) and get them back out (read). Higher speeds mean faster transfer times, resulting in quicker file access, smoother video playback, and faster program performance. These speeds are usually measured in megabytes per second (MB/s). Faster write/read speeds improve efficiency, especially when working with large files or multitasking.
