Seek time on a hard disk is 50 ms. it rotates at a speed of 3000 rotations/sec. Each track on the disk has 100 sectors. Find the average access time for the disk. 4m Dec2007
Disk Rotation Speed = 3000 rps. (i.e. 180000 rpm)
Sectors per Track = 100 sectors
Seek time = 50 millisecond
Convertion is Shown Below:
Rotational latency = Average seek time + Average Rotational delay + Controller Overheads
Average seek time = 50 millisecond (given)
Calculate
Average Rotational delay = ½ Time of Rotation in milliseconds
Average Rotational delay = ½ * (60/180000) *1000 millisecond
= ½ * 1/3 millisecond
= 1/6 millisecond
= 0.166 millisecond
Note:- Controller Overheads (optional) not using it For Now.
Rotational latency = Average seek time + Average Rotational delay
Rotational latency = 50 millisecond + 0.166 millisecond
= 50 + 0.166 millisecond
= 50.166 millisecond.
