Figure 13. Simple Sequential Access performance
The above table gives the time required to read a total of 8000h consecutive blocks (16,777,216 bytes)
accessed by 128 read commands. Typical and Max values are given by 105% and 110% of T respectively
throughout following performance description.
Note:
It is
assumed that a host system responds instantaneously and host data transfer is faster than
sustained data rate.
T = A + B + C + 16,777,216/D + 512/E

where
T = Calculated time (sec)
A = Command process time (Command overhead) (sec)
B = Average seek time (sec)
C = Average latency (sec)
D = Sustained disk-buffer transfer rate (byte/sec)
E = Buffer-host transfer rate (byte/sec)
