Cylinder switch time is defined as the amount of time required by the fixed disk to access the next
sequential block after reading the last sector in the current cylinder.
The measuring method is given in 4.4.5, “Throughput” on page 17.

Figure 11. Drive ready time
Ready
The condition in which the drive is able to perform a media access command
(such as read, write) immediately.
Power on
This includes the time required for the internal self diagnostics.
Note: Max Power On to ready time is the maximum time period that Device 0 waits for Device 1 to assert
PDIAG–.
