The disk service time of a hard disk drive (HDD) is calculated using several factors:

Seek Time: The time it takes for the read/write head to move to the track where the data is stored.

Rotational Latency: The time it takes for the platter to rotate and position the correct sector under the read/write head.

Data Transfer Rate: The speed at which data can be read from or written to the disk once the read/write head is in position.

Together, these factors determine the overall performance and speed of the HDD in accessing and retrieving data.References: Dell Information Storage and Management V5 documents.
