Define latency, transfer and seek time with respect to disk
I/O.
Answer Posted / guest
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
