Question

Assume that a specific hard disk drive has an average access time of 16ms (i.e. the seek and rotational delay sums to 16ms) and a throughput or transfer rate of 185MBytes/s, where a megabyte is measured as 1024.

Required:
What is the average access time for a hard disk spinning at 360 revolutions per second with a seek time of 10 milliseconds?
