minimum seek time
<storage> (Or track-to-track seek time) The time it takes to move the
head of a disk drive from one track to the next. The minimum seek time gives a
good measure of the speed of the drive in a single-user/single-process
environment where successive read/write request are largely correlated and thus
if correlated data is stored in nearby cylinders most seeks are from one
cylinder to the next.
