Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temperature. All times are measured using
drive diagnostics. The specifications in the table below are defined as follows:
Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track seeks in both directions.
Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000 measurements of seeks between
random tracks, less overhead.
