Magnetic Disk Performance
-measured according to access time and storage capacity

ACCESS TIME
- the act of reading specific data from the magnetic disk and writing
it on a specific cylinder or track.
Access time = Seek time + Search time + Data transfer time
Processor Performance
- measured using the number of instructions that can be
executed in a unit of time as an index.
