The beginning of the disk is stored on the further cylinders from the center, while the end of the disk is stored on the cylinders close to the center. Because the disk rotation speed is constant, and the information density is constant, the raw performance of the disk is not the same for all cylinders. The performance degradation can be up to 50% when comparing performances at the beginning of the disk and at the end of the disk.
