Once I partitioned a disk in 20 or 30 partitions, and tested speed on all of them. The faster region was about 1/3 of the disk. It was slower at the end of the disk than at the start; that I expected, but not that it would be faster at 1/3.
Confirmed via observation here, closer maybe to 25%, but clearly slower at the front than somewhat beyond the front, with the rear very clearly bringing up the rear in performance. It wouldn't surprise me if disk makers were putting LBA 0 somewhere other than the physical start.
No, it more probably is a result of the fixed rotational speed, the varying number of sectors depending where is the track, etc. We would need to have actual numbers to do the math. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
