Computing

Average seek time The mean time it takes to move the head of a disk drive from one track to another, averaged over the source and destination cylinders. The average seek time gives a good measure of the speed of the drive in a multi-user environment where successive read/write request are largely uncorrelated. Ten ms is common for a hard disk and 200 ms for an eight-speed CD-ROM. ?? (1997-07-22). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
