Variable 512 to 528 bytes per sector in evenly divisible by 4 number
of bytes per sector (512, 516, 520, 524, or 528). If n (number of bytes
per sector is not divisible by 4, the next lowest number that is devisi-
ble by 4 will be used.
Read/write consecutive sectors on a track
Flaw reallocation performance impact (for flaws reallocated at format time
using the spare sectors per sparing zone reallocation scheme.)
Average rotational latency
*Assumes no errors and no relocated logical blocks. Rate measured from the start of the first logi-
cal block transfer to or from the host.
