Assume the following specification for a hard disk drive   Rotation Speed:             7,200 rev/min Arm movement Time:    0.5 msec fixed startup + 0.05 msec for each track crossed. (Startup is constant no matter how far the arm moves.)                               Surfaces:                         2 (The disk has two sides and a single arm holds both of the read/write heads) Average Moves:             On average the read/write head moves only 30 tracks Tracks per Surface:       500 Sectors per Track:          20 Characters per Sector:  1024   a) How many characters can be stored on this disk? b) Create a best-case, worst-case, average-case access time table that shows each of seek, latency, transfer and average access times.

Fundamentals of Input and Output Performance

The I/O subsystem is a component of computer system design that uses buses to assist communication between the Central Processing Unit, Computer Memory/Storage, and Input and Output Devices (that is known as peripheral devices). The I/O subsystem includes disc controllers, tape drives, discs, system buses, and other devices. The I/O database application reads and writes drives using the operating system windows I/O.
