Seek time is the time required to move the disk arm to the required track. The seek time is approximated as
where estimated seek time
number of tracks traversed
constant that depends on the disk drive
startup time
Rotational Delay:
Disk drive generally rotates at 3600 rpm, i.e., to make one revolution it takes around 16.7 ms. Thus on the average, the rotational delay will be 8.3 ms.
