saturated disk
A disk whose instantaneous I/O load is as great as or greater than its capability to satisfy the requests comprising the load.
Mathematically, a saturated disk's I/O queue eventually becomes indefinitely long. In practice, however, user reaction or other system factors generally reduce the rate of new request arrivals for a saturated disk.
