The average access time for a diskette drive typically ranges from 100 to 300 milliseconds. This time includes both the seek time (the time taken for the read/write head to position itself over the correct track) and the latency (the time waiting for the desired sector to rotate under the head). However, specific access times can vary based on the drive's design and the speed of the media. Overall, diskette drives are significantly slower compared to modern storage devices like SSDs and HDDs.

Yes, it is a removable disc. However, almost no computers have diskettes anymore. Answer There should be a button to push that will expel the diskette. Location would be next to the drive. Computers manufactured over the past few years do not have a disk drive where you can insert a diskette. After a period of time where both a disk drive and a CD ROM drive were included, we are now in a time where CD ROM drives and USB ports are provided for external storage. Hmm, guess I misunderstood the question. I thought it was whether a diskette could be removed.
no a hard drive has a much faster access time...
The average drive time from Vancouver to Whistler is about 2 hours.
The formula to calculate the average memory access time in a computer system is: Average Memory Access Time Hit Time Miss Rate x Miss Penalty
I think about 57 or 58 by IBM in their 305 RAMAC computer. Its 350 disk drive had a capacity of about 5 million characters on a stack of 50 platters 24 inches in diameter it was about 4 feet tall. Worst case track to track access time was 0.8 seconds.
The access time for a moving head disc drive is greater than that of a fixed head disc drive due to the physical movement required by the read/write head to reach the desired location on the disk. In a moving head drive, the head needs to physically move across the disk's surface to access different sectors, resulting in increased latency. In contrast, a fixed head drive has multiple heads dedicated to specific locations on the disk, allowing for quicker access times as the heads do not need to physically move.
It won't make any difference at all. I have non system disks in my drives all the time. It matters not.

The cache size is refers to the size of buffer on the hard drive. The bigger the the buffer, the less the hard drive has to access the drive. Also it improves the time that the computer needs to access data from the drive.
