The sum of the seek time and the rotational delay equals the _________,which is the time it takes to get into position to read or write.
A)access time
B)gap time
C)transfer time
D)constant angular velocity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sum of the seek time and rotational delay gives us the access time, which is the time it takes for the read/write head to reach the correct location on the disk and for the disk to rotate into position. Therefore, option A - access time - is the correct choice. Option B - gap time - is not a relevant term in this context. Option C - transfer time - refers to the time it takes to actually transfer data to or from the disk, which is not what the question is asking about. Option D - constant angular velocity - is a characteristic of some disk drives, but it is not directly related to the question.
