4.4 Performance characteristics Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters: • Command overhead • Mechanical head positioning - Seek time - Latency • Data transfer speed • Buffering operation (read ahead/write cache) Note: All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to the performance of the actual system. This specification tries to define the bare drive characteristics, not system throughput, which depends on the system and the application. The following table gives a typical value for each parameter. The detailed descriptions are found in Section 5.0, "Data integrity" beginning on page 21.
