Seek time
Seek measurements are taken with nominal power at 25°C ambient temper-
ature. All times are measured using drive diagnostics. 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.

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 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.
