Track-to-track seek time refers to the time required for a read-write head to move between adjacent tracks on a disk. It is typically measured in milliseconds. Random and average seek times are related to accessing data in different areas of the disk, and relocation seek time refers to the time required for the read-write head to move to a specific location on the disk after it has been moved to a new position (e.g. due to a power failure or system restart).
