how to estimate the disk access time?
e.g. the time between read one byte and another byte in the
disk.

Answer Posted / prasad jvv

Disks are block devices. Mean one block of data can be read
at one point of time. So there is no point of time between
read one byte and another byte. If intended to calculate
time to read one byte, first of all we need to calculate
the time required to read one block and devide that by
block size.

Access Time = Command Overhead Time + Seek Time + Settle
Time + Latency

This equation is not universal standard.
