Suppose we have a magnetic disk with the following parameters : • Average seek time = 6 ms • Rotation rate = 5400 RPM • Transfer rate = 100 MB/second • Sector size = 512 bytes What is the average time to read a single sector?
Disk Access Time = seek time + rotational delay + transfer time + controller overhead = 6+(0.5*60*10^3 /5400) + (512/(100*2^20))*1000 = 11.556 ms

Question 12 Consider a magnetic disk drive with 10 double sided platters, 512(=2^9) tracks per surface, and 1024 (=2^10) sectors per track. Sector size is 2KBytes (=2^10 Bytes ). Assume the average seek time 0.02 ms, the seek time from a track to its adjacent track can be ignored. The drive rotates at 5400 rpm. Successive tracks in a cylinder can be read without head movement. Furthermore, disks can be handled independently, so multiple tracks in a cylinder can be...
