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.

NOTE: you need to have one piece of blank paper as scrap paper to workout the questions, as some questions require simple calculations or dra to answer the question. D Question 30 Assume a system has a Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) hit ratio of 95%. It requires 20 nanoseconds to access the TLB, and 80 nanoseconds to access main memory. What is the effective memory access time in nanoseconds for this system? 90 O 116 O 108 O 104 < Previous Ne Sul MacBook Air Not saved
Consider a 4 inch disk with 64 double-surfaced platters rotating at 7200 rpm. It has a usable capacity of 16 gigabytes stored on 1024 cylinders. Assume 12% of each track is used as overhead with average seek time 10ms. compute the time required to transfer 8-K byte sector
Regarding Translation Look-aside Buffers, and given the following facts: a. 95 percent hit ratio b. 10 nanosecond TLB search time c. 200 nanosecond memory access time. What is the effective memory access time using the TLB? What is the access time if no TLB is used?
Consider a disk with the following characteristics: block size 512 bytes, number of blocks per track=20, number of tracks per surface=400. A disk pack consists of 15 double sided disks. Suppose the disk drive rotates the disk pack at an average speed of 2400 rpm (revolutions per minute) i) How much time in (msec) does one disk revolution take? ii) Using the total capacity of the track as 10240 bytes how many bytes will be transferred from the track in 1 msec (ie transfer rate in bytes/sec)
Suppose that a magnetic dick drive has the following characteristics: Rotational speed = 20000 RPM HTH switching time = 3 ms Average TTT seek time = 3 ms 6 platters, 1024 tracks per platter side recorded on both sides, 60 sectors per track on all tracks. Sector size = 512. The Questions are as following: What is the drive’s storage capacity? How long it will take to read the drive’s entire contents sequentially?
One disc makes 7200 revolutions per minute. There are 24 tracks on the disc and 8 sectors on each track. 2. A file saved in 2 consecutive sectors on the track and 4 consecutive sectors on track 20 will be read. The reader head of the disc is on the tenth (10) track when the reading starts. The transition time of the head from one track to another takes 10 ms. Assuming that there are 1024 bytes in each sector and the data transfer rate is equal to the rotation speed of the disk, what is the time to read one sector and read the entire file? 1,04 ms ; 274,54 ms C. 6,24 ms; 307,25 ms 8,3 ms; 180,75 ms 8,3 ms ; 298,5 ms
What is the average time to read or write a 512-byte sector for a typical disk rotating at 15,000 RPM? The advertised average seek time is 4 ms, the transfer rate is 100 MB/sec, and the controller overhead is 0.2 ms. Assume that the disk is idle so that there is no waiting time.
Suppose that a magnetic disk has an average seek time of 4 ms, a rotation rate of 5400 RPM, a transfer rate of 50 MB/second, a sector size of 512 bytes, and controller overhead of 2 ms. What is the average amount of time to read a single sector?

A manufacture wishes to design a hard disk with a capacity of 60 GB or more (using thestandard definition of 1GB = 230 bytes). If the technology used to manufacture thedisks allows 512-bytes sectors, 1024 sector/track, and 60% tracks/ platter, how many platters are required?
