Think about paths or circles on the disk.
Define a sector in terms of disk storage.
Sectors are parts of tracks.
What is the function of a track on a disk?
Think about how data is stored on circular paths.
Seek time is...
Consider the movement of the read/write head on the disk.
Given that a disk has 500 MB of total storage, 100 tracks, and 5 sectors per track, calculate the bit density. Discuss any design implications.
Focus on the relationship between total storage and organizational elements.
If increasing RPM improves performance, discuss the trade-offs in power consumption and wear on the disk, especially in the context of seek time and rotational latency.
Consider 'speed vs. longevity' when thinking about disks.
