On a UFS it is called the SUPER BLOCKS a master and at least one slave.
Typically these blocks will take up to 8% or there abouts of the disk.

A software tackometer?
I have IDE drives, SATA drives, both 7200 and 10,000 RPM,
as well as SCSI disks that are supposed to be running at 15k
RPM. I noticed that on the hard drive labels, those on the disk
