no, I'm not. most HD's ('green drives' complicate this some) spin at
a constant RPM, so the rotational latency is the same on the inner and
outer tracks, an average of 1/2 turn, about 4mS for a 7200 rpm drive,
and 2mS for a 15000rpm enterprise drive . However, the data rate
changes. so the outer tracks have more data on them, which is read at a
higher speed in megabytes/second
