What's the common term used when discussing the speed data transfers from a hard drive.
Seek time, average latency, and data transfer rate?
Seek time: Time required for the head to seek to a particular track.
Average latency: Time required for the head to seek to a particular track and the correct sector pass under it
Transfer rate: actual data throughput in reads and writes.
