Chris, I'm not sure what you mean here.

The concept of Variable Transfer Rate covers this.

Stealing a quote from: Optimal Storage Configuration Made Easy, By Juan Loaiza, Oracle Corporation

"The transfer rate for a disk drive is not the same for all portions of a
disk.
The outer sectors of a disk drive move by the disk head faster than the inner sections
leading to a faster transfer rate for the outer sectors. This is simply because
of the circular shape of a disk drive."
