4.4 Performance characteristics
Drive performance is characterized by the following parameters:
y Command overhead
y Mechanical positioning
- Seek time
- Latency
y Data transfer speed
y Buffering operation (Look ahead/Write cache)
All the above parameters contribute to drive performance. There are other parameters that contribute to
the performance of the actual system. This specification defines the characteristics of the drive, not the
characteristics of the system throughput which depends on the system and the application.
4.4.1 Command overhead
Command overhead is defined as the time required
y from the time the command is written into the command register by a host
y to the assertion of DRQ for the first data byte of a READ command when the requested data is not
in the buffer
y excluding Physical seek time and Latency
The table below gives average command overhead.
