maximum seek time
(Or full stroke seek time) The time it takes to
{seek} over all {tracks}, i.e., from the innermost to the
outermost or vice versa. The maximum seek time gives a
worst-case measure of the speed of the drive which is useful
in some {real-time} applications where it is important that
data flows continuously (such as video editing or CD
recording).
