| | Seek time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Seek time is one of the several delays associated with reading or writing data on a computer's disk drive. | | | Seek time for a given disk varies depending on how far the head's destination is from its origin at the time of each read or write instruction; usually one discusses a disk's average seek time. | | | Floppy disk drives and optical drives (such as CD or DVD drives) have much larger head assemblies than hard discs, resulting in them having longer seek times. |

| | Seek Time |
| | Seek time is almost entirely a function of the design and characteristics of the hard disk's actuator assembly. | | | Obviously, even small reductions in seek times can result in improvements in overall system performance, because the rest of the system is often sitting and waiting for the hard disk during this time. | | | It is for this reason that seek time is usually considered one of the most important hard disk performance specifications. |

| | Analysis of the average seek time similar to ours would be a routine for a computer engineer but it has not been used in computer science education. | | | Theoretical analysis of the average seek time under the LOOK algorithm belongs to queuing theory and could be included in a graduate course on probability. | | | This suggests that it is 3, not 2, that is the magic number of computer disk average seek time! |

| | Epinions.com - Size, seek time, rotation speed, mean time between failure |
| | Latency is the time between when the computer requests a chunk of information and the first bit of it appears. | | | Mean time between failure is also an important parameter, but hard to find information about. | | | For hard drives, this is determined by two things: how long it takes to move the read head over to the track you need to read, and how long it takes the disk to spin around until the data you want is under the read head. |

| | Access Time |
| | In the end though, when you are looking at the ability of a drive to randomly position, access time is the number you want to look at. | | | When comparing drives of a given class, say, IDE/ATA 7200 RPM drives, they will all have the same latency, which means, of course that the only number to differentiate them is seek time. | | | However, it's important to remember that this wide range can occur on any given access, and random perturbations can affect benchmarks and other performance tests. |

| | With traditional disk drives, access time is the composition of transfer time, seek time and rotational latency, so many techniques as to minimize these factors, such as ordering I/O requests or intelligently placing data, have been developed. | | | This paper begins to examine the access qualities of a MEMS-based storage device, and based on experimental simulation, develops an understanding of the seek time characteristics of such a device. | | | Therefore, new data layout techniques based on minimizing the unique seek time characteristics of a MEMS-based storage device can be developed. |
