Average Rotational Latency
The half of the time required for one revolution is called average rotational latency. Average rotational latency can be defined by the ratio of time for 1 rotation divided by 2.
Average Rotational Latency = Time for 1 revolution / 2
Rotational Latency
The time required by the read/write head to move from the current sector to the desired sector is called the rotational latency. The rotational latency can be calculated by dividing the angle between the current sector and the desired sector by the rotational frequency.
The formula for calculating the rotational latency is given by:
Rotational latency = (angle between current sector and desired sector) / Rotational frequency
