NOTES: ∗ Seek time is defined as the time from the receipt of a read, write or seek
command until the actuator has repositioned and settled on the desired track
with the drive operating at nominal DC input voltages and nominal operating
temperature.
∗ Average seek time is determined by averaging the time to complete 1,000
seeks of random length.
∗ Average latency is the time required for the drive to rotate 1/2 of a revolution
and on average is incurred after a seek completion prior to reading or writing
user data.
∗ Spin up time is the time elapsed between the supply voltages reaching operating
range and the drive being ready to accept all commands.
∗ Actual rotational speed can be different a little.
