	Beyond Access Time
		Seek time is dependent upon how far the laser head has to travel to reach the requested data.
		Average seek time - the time it takes for the head to be positioned over the data - is usually calculated by taking an average of worst-case and best-case scenarios or the time it takes for the head to move one-third the radius of the disk.
		As with seek time, rotational latency is usually given as an average of worst-case and best-case scenarios and is equal to the time it takes for the disk to spin half a rotation.

	Seek time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seek time is one of the several delays associated with reading or writing data on a computer's disk drive, and somewhat similar for CD or DVD drives.
		This process is known as seeking, and the time it takes for the head to move to the right place is the seek time.
		Seek time for a given disk varies depending on how far the head's destination is from its origin at the time of each read or write instruction; usually one discusses a disk's average seek time.

	Seek Time
		Seek time is one of the most commonly discussed metrics for hard disks, and it is one of the most important positioning performance specifications.
		Seek time is normally expressed in milliseconds (commonly abbreviated "msec" or "ms"), with average seek times for most modern drives today in a rather tight range of 8 to 10 ms.
		Seek time is almost entirely a function of the design and characteristics of the hard disk's actuator assembly.

	SAMSUNG learning resource - silent seek
		Idle noise is generated mainly by the excitation from the ball bearings inside the spindle motor, and by airflow disturbances inside the HDD during disk rotation.
		Seek acoustic noise is defined as the sound level when the HDD is dynamically moving and positioning the actuator assembly from one track location to another.
		The best way in minimizing seek time is to maximize both the acceleration to reach a maximum velocity and the deceleration to return to zero velocity at the target location.

	Seek Time
		The seek time of a hard disk measures the amount of time required for the read/write heads to move between tracks.
		Seek time is normally expressed in milliseconds, with average seek times for most modern drives in the 8 to 12 ms range.
		Cutting the seek time of an average read instruction down from 12 ms to 8 ms then, can result in great system performance improvement, because the rest of the system is often sitting and waiting for the hard disk during this time.

	Seek Time
		One of the reasons that the initial specs for a disk drive have a large allocation for "settling time" is that when we calculate the raw seek time, then add the fudge factors for back EMF and inductance, the actual seek time eats into the settling allowance.
		Head switches and 1-track seeks usually take about the same amount of time; you have to wait for the next sector to see where you are, and a few more to be sure you're where you want to be.
		Seek time is usually given as an average, and settling is usually included in the seek time.

	SmugBlog: Don MacAskill » Blog Archive » HDD IOPS limiting factor - seek or rpm?
		However, this is a little optimistic because when you’re waiting for a 270 degree rotation, seek time doesn’t matter, but when you’re waiting for a 10 degree rotation it does — in fact, if you can’t seek fast enough, you’ll end up waiting for 370 degrees in that case.
		And the seek distance matters too, because track-to-track seeks are very fast, while larger seeks take longer (because you have to decelerate the head, find the sync marks, and wait for the arm to stop ringing).
		Clearly the “average case” then is a seek of 1/2 the platter (where the “average seek time” comes from) and a 180deg revolution.

		As a result, only those part time job seekers that admit or volunteer that they are restricting their availability to part time work will run afoul of restrictive rules.
		An estimated weekly benefit for part time jobless workers can be calculated based upon the differences in earnings between part time workers and other workers, and their average duration of UI benefit receipt must be estimated.
		The adoption of broader eligibility for part time workers is a better reflection of the role of part time workers in today’s labor market and another step toward equity for low wage and women workers in UI programs.

	Seek Time Model
		Seek time is the time that it takes to reposition the mover above the relevant tips when servicing a new non-sequential request.
		Therefore, the seeking distance and the seek time are relatively short, and depend on the mover movement range.
		We can now substitute Equations 17 and 18 in Equation 9 to obtain an expression for the seek time, which is shown in Equation 19.

	Size, seek time, rotation speed, mean time between failure - Choosing the Best Type of IDE Hard Drive - Epinions.com
		IDE hard drives are currently sold based on several parameters: size (in gigabytes), seek time (in milliseconds), rotation speed (5400, 7200, or 10000 rpm), buffer size (512k, 1 meg, 2 meg) and specific interface type (ATA/33, ATA/66).
		Latency is the time between when the computer requests a chunk of information and the first bit of it appears.
		For hard drives, this is determined by two things: how long it takes to move the read head over to the track you need to read, and how long it takes the disk to spin around until the data you want is under the read head.

		The seek time depends on the power of the servo motor that moves the head, the mass of the heads, the number of tracks traversed and the time taken to position the heads over the target track accurately enough to start data transfer (which includes several variables).
		The terms seek time and access time are often used interchangeably.
		Technically speaking, however, the access time is often longer than the seek time because it includes a brief latency period.

		After successfully seeking an extension themselves, county officials moved to dismiss the lawsuit early this month, arguing they are not liable for the actions of the gunmen.
