Note. Maximum length excludes I/O connector pins that may extend up to 0.015 inches beyond the edge of the head/disc assembly, per SFF 8004 specification.

1.5 Seek time

All seek times are measured using a 25 MHz 486 AT computer (or faster) with a 8.3 MHz I/O bus. The measurements are taken with nominal power at sea level and 40°C ambient temperature. 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.
