But when converted to linear speed, the outside is moving faster than

remember that most disks have 2MB of disk cache.. new drives are 8MB cache
drives spin at say 7200rpm
ie .138ms per revolu

How long is exactly to move the head from outside to the center?
Long ago, I tinkered with moving the swap partitio
