  1. SP says:

    Forgot to explain:
    The average rotational latency for a disk is half the amount of time it takes for the disk to make one revolution

    so (1 / (RPM / 60)) * 0.5 * 1000

    0.5 is for the half
    RPM/60 to get it in seconds and * 1000 to covert to miliseconds

    RPM = 10000

    Average Seek Time is equal a half of a turn,

    Rotacional per second (rps) = Rotational per minute/60.

    A half a turn is (1/2 or 0,5)/(rps).

    R = (0,5)/(RPM/60)
    R = (0,5)/(10000/60)
    R = 0,5 / 166.6 <- rps
    R = 0,003 seconds or 3 milliseconds. :)
