Suppose a disk drive has the following characteristics: 5 surfaces 1024 tracks per surface 256 sectors per track 512 bytes/sector Track-to-track seek time of 8 milliseconds Rotational speed of 7500 RPM.What is the average latency of the drive?
Suppose a disk drive has the following characteristics: 6 surfaces 1024 tracks per surface 256 sectors per track 512 bytes/sector Track-to-track seek time of 8 milliseconds Rotational speed of 5000 RPM. What is the total capacity of the drive? What is its average access time?
Transfer rate of a disk drive can be no faster than the bit density (bits/track) times the rotational speed of the disk. Figure 7.15 gives a data transfer rate of 112GB/sec. Assume that the average track length of the disk is 5.5 inches. What is the average bit density of the disk?
A disk drive has 1000 cylinders, 8 tracks per cylinder, 32 sectors per track, and 512 bytes per sector. The rotation time is 4ms. The read/write head takes 10ms to move between adjacent cylinders. A data file contains 200KB of data stored consecutively. What is the maximum seek time if the average time needed to read the data is 170ms?

Calculate FIT and MTTF for 10 disks (1M hour MTTF per disk), 1 disk controller (0.5M hour MTTF), and 1 power supply (0.2M hour MTTF
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.

What is this drive's storage capacity? b. How long will it take to read the drive's entire contents sequentially?
Calculate the access time for a disk having the size of 512 byte/sector and the seek time of 12ms. The rotational rate is 5700 RPM. The data transfer rate is 3MB/sec, and the the controller overhead is 1ms, you may even assume that there is no service time for the access.
