A 2.5 inch diameter disk has 8 platters with each platter having two data recording surfaces, each platter on disk has 4084 tracks, each track has 400 sectors and one sector can store 1 MB of data. Calculate the storage capacity of this disk in Bytes. If this disk has a seek time of 2 milli-seconds and rotates at the speed of 6000 rpm, find the Access time for the disk. Make suitable assumptions, if any.
1. Storage Capacity of the Disk Calculation: Storage Capacity = Number of Platters × Surfaces per Platter × Tracks per Surface × Sectors per Track × Data per Sector (in Bytes) Storage Capacity = 8 × 2 × 4084 × 400 × 1 MB × (10242 Bytes) Result: The storage capacity of the disk is […]
