<*1> Under the condition of normal voltage, 25oC normal temperature and bottom side down.

<*2> Average time to seek all possible adjacent track without head switching.

<*3> Weighted average time to travel between all possible combination of track calculated as below.

Weighted average access time = [ Sum of P(n)*t(n) ] / [ Sum of P(n) ], n = 1 to N.

Where,

N ; Total number of tracks.

P(n);

Total number of seek for stroke n [ = 2*(N - n) ].

t(n);

Average seek time for stroke n.

Average seek time to seek to stroke n is the average time to 1,000 seeks for stroke n, with random head switch.

<*4> Average time for 1,000 full stroke seeks with random head switches.

<*5> Typical values are for the condition of normal voltage, 25oC normal temperature and placing bottom side down. Maximum values are for all conditions specified in this document.
