Solution

The average I/O time for a hard disk drive (HDD) can be calculated by adding the average seek time, rotation time, and transfer time.

Given:

  • Average seek time = 3ms
  • Rotation time = 4ms
  • Transfer time = 0.01s = 10ms (since 1s = 1000ms)

Now, add these three times together:

Average I/O time = Average seek time + Rotation time + Transfer time Average I/O time = 3ms + 4ms + 10ms Average I/O time = 17ms

So, the average I/O time for the HDD is 17ms.
