All seek times are measured using a 25 MHz 486 AT computer (or faster)
with an 8.3 MHz I/O bus. The measurements are taken wit h nominal
power at sea level. The specifications in the table below are defined as
follows:
• Track-to-track seek time is an average of all possible single-track
seeks in both directions.
• Average seek time is a true statistical random average of at least 5,000
measurements of seeks between random tracks, less overhead.
• Full-stroke seek time is one-half the time needed to seek from the first
data cylinder to the maximum data cylinder and back to the first data
cylinder. The full-stroke typical value is determined by averaging 100
full-stroke seeks in both directions.
