Answers
The term given to the time to initiate a data transfer is called disk latency. It is the amount of time taken by a data to get transferred from a disk to any other storage device, or any other place.
The unit which is used to measure disk latency is "millisecond, because" it cannot be calculated in seconds, as the data gets transferred electronically, so it is too fast.
The time taken to transfer data from this disk to another or any other place is termed as disk latency.
The specific calculations are used to determine disk latency are: Rotational Latency, Seek Time, Transfer Time.
