    PassMark, What is being done during Disk-Random Seek+RW

    What is being done during the Disk-Random Seek+RW test? Description needn't be to in depth. I am just trying understand what gets done when I test ReadyBoost and non ReadyBoost PCs.

    Disk Random Seek RW

    A large test file is created on the disk under test. The file is read randomly; a seek is performed to move the file pointer to a random position in the file, a 16KB block is read or written then another seek is performed. The amount of data actually transferred is highly dependent on the disk seek time.
