1.Typical access times are measured under nominal conditions of temperature, voltage, and horizontal orientation as measured on a representative sample of drives.

2.Access to data = access time + latency time.

4.2.2Format command execution time (minutes)

When changing sector sizes, the format times shown below may need to be increased by 30 minutes.
