Solid-state drives (SSDs) have the fastest access time compared to other storage media such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and optical disks. This is due to the lack of moving parts in SSDs, allowing for quicker data retrieval.
"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.
The fastest time for completing an expert-level Minesweeper game is around 1.5 seconds. This record was achieved by Kamil Murański from Poland in 2014.
The fastest moonwalk time in 2011 was achieved by Hakeem Olajuwon, a former professional basketball player, with a time of 5.9 seconds.
The fastest time recorded at the Melbourne Cup was 3 minutes and 16.3 seconds, set by Kingston Rule in 1990.
