"Seek time" refers to the amount of time it takes for a storage device, such as a hard drive, to locate and access specific data on the disk. It is measured in milliseconds and is an important factor in determining the overall performance of the storage device. Lower seek times indicate faster access to data.
Access time is composed of several factors, including seek time, rotational delay, transfer time, and any additional encoding or decoding time. Seek time refers to the time it takes for the read/write head to move to the desired location on the storage medium, while rotational delay is the time it takes for the storage medium to spin to the correct position. Transfer time is the time taken to actually read or write the data once the read/write head is in the correct position.
My time is 140 sec for expert level but the fastest time is 27 sec.
The fastest moonwalk time in 2011 was achieved by Hakeem Olajuwon, a former professional basketball player, with a time of 5.9 seconds.
Kingston Rule ran the fastest time of the Melbourne Cup in 1990 with a time of 3 minutes 16.3 seconds.

The fastest access time typically refers to the speed at which data can be retrieved from a storage medium. In computing, this is often measured in nanoseconds (ns) for memory (like CPU caches and RAM) and milliseconds (ms) for storage devices (like SSDs and HDDs). For example, modern CPU cache access times can be as low as 1-3 nanoseconds, while SSDs may have access times around 100 microseconds. Access times can vary significantly based on the type of storage technology used.
Volatile storage: if storage media loses data while power goes off, it is termed as volatile storage media for example RAM. It is the fastest among the three in terms of data access time. Non-volatile storage: If storage media retains data even while power goes off, it is termed as non-volatile storage media. For example: hard disk. It is faster than stable storage but slower as compared to volatile storage. Stable Storage:Information that is residing in stable storage is certainly not lost (theoretically). A natural catastrophe may result in a loss if not the probability of data loss is negligible. For example by using multiple hard disks as in the case of RAID technology. This is the slowest of all storage media mentioned above.
access times from memory is 200,000 times faster than access times from storage devices due to the mechanical movement involved.

All media can fail over time, so the best type of media storage is redundant. Keep multiple copies of all your important files on different types of media. Hard drives, DVDs and flash media are great storage solutions. Online backup is important too in case of fire or theft at your location.
An access time is the time interval between the issuing of a request to send data from or write data to a storage device and the completion of this action.
There can be no equivalence. A mb is a measure of optoelectronic data storage. Different media and quality require different storage requirements.
