Disk-Management
Question 1 |
If the overhead for formatting a disk is 96 bytes for 4000 byte sector,
(a) Compute the unformatted capacity of the disk for the following parameters:
Number of surfaces: 8 Outer diameter of the disk: 12 cm Inner diameter of the disk: 4 cm Inter track space: 0.1 mm Number of sectors per track: 20
(b) if the disk in (a) is rotating at 360 rpm, determine the effective data transfer rate which is defined as the number of bytes transferred per second between disk and memory.
