Frequently Asked Questions on Rotational Latency
What is Rotational Latency of Disk?
The time required by the read/write head to reach the desired sector from the current sector is called as the rotational latency of the disk.
Write the Formula for the Average Rotational Latency.
The average rotational latency is given by:
Average Rotational Latency = Time required for 1 rotation / 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
