Ø Sector :- each track is further sub divided into number of segment which is called sector.
Ø Seek time:- it is the time taken to position of the read write head from the one track to another track.
Ø Latency time:- it is time taken to another sector of the same head .
Ø Access time:- seek time + latency time. If the head is fixed the seek time is equal to “o” therefore access time=latency   time.
