Start/Stop Times - Maxtor STM3402111A - DiamondMax 40 GB Hard Drive Product Manual

• 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.
*Typical seek times (msec)

*Measured in quiet mode
Note. These drives are designed to consistently meet the seek times represented in this manual. Physical seeks,
regardless of mode (such as track-to-track and average), are expected to meet or exceed the noted values.
However, due to the manner in which these drives are formatted, benchmark tests that include command
overhead or measure logical seeks may produce results that vary from these specifications.
