  Re: Define latency, transfer and seek time with respect to disk I/O.
Answer
# 1
Seek time is the time required to move the disk arm to the 
required track. Rotational delay or latency is the time it 
takes for the beginning of the required sector to reach the 
head. 

Sum of seek time (if any) and latency is the access time. 
Time taken to actually transfer a span of data is transfer 
time
