(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
1. In a telecommunication system, the elapsed time between the start of an access attempt and successful access.
Note: Access time values are measured only on access attempts that result in successful access.
2. In a computer, the time interval between the instant at which an instruction control unit initiates a call for data and the instant at which delivery of the data is completed.
3. The time interval between the instant at which storage of data is requested and the instant at which storage is started.
4. In magnetic disk devices, the time for the access arm to reach the desired track and the delay for the rotation of the disk to bring the required sector under the read-write mechanism.

Business | The important features distinguishing one disk drive from another are performance, in terms of storage capacity and access time, and its component technologies. (references) | |
The role included advances in read/write head technologies and head positioning systems, which have vastly increased the storage capacity and decreased the access time of disk drives. (references) | ||
Performance in disk storage products consists primarily of a combination of storage capacity and access time and to a lesser degree such attributes as data transfer rates to and from the central processing unit. After-sales service and support are also very important due to the complex technical nature of the products. (references) | ||
