Every HDD has a “mean access time” number (related to the rotation speed, 
number of heads, etc.)
with 8ms access time this gives you 1000/8 = 125 seeks per second.

This is where it comes from :-)
Of course the best case will be better, I generally calculate 150 IOPS for any 
SATA drive, 200 for SAS. Some high-end FC disks with 15K RPM can have as high 
as 300 IOPS, but that’s probably not what we want to use here.
