SNR is typically expressed logarithmically in decibels (dB). SNR measures the quality of a transmission channel or an audio signal over a network […]

• rotational latency

  Also called rotational delay, the amount of time it takes for the desired sector of a disk (i.e., the sector from which data is to be read or written) to rotate under the read-write heads of the disk drive. The average rotational latency for a disk is half the amount of time it takes for […]
