When a file is opened for the first time, it is the responsibility of the operating system to ensure that the file's blocks are written to the disc in the right sequence. Is there anything special about magnetic discs that makes this topic deserving of such a great lot of attention? Would it make a difference or not if, rather of traditional hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs) were used? - What might possibly be causing this?

This duty is assigned to the operating system, which is responsible for ensuring that the blocks of a recently opened file are written to disc in the correct sequence. Is there anything in particular about magnetic discs that contributes to the fact that this is such an important factor? Would the adoption of solid-state drives (SSDs) instead make a difference, or would it be irrelevant to the discussion? - What might possibly be causing this?
When a file is opened for the first time, it is the responsibility of the operating system to guarantee that the blocks will be written to disc in the right sequence. Is the significance of this really warranted, or are magnetic discs simply like any other kind of disc? I was wondering whether switching to SSDs (solid-state drives) would have any effect. - For what reason is this happening?

What distinguishes a text file from a binary file? Is it feasible to see a text or binary file using a text editor?
What's the difference between storing data in a file and storing it in a register in computer memory?
To ensure that a file's subsequent blocks are stored on consecutive blocks of storage medium, operating systems take great care to ensure that they are saved in a sequential order. Is there any special reason why this must be done while working with magnetic disks?
Why is it that the notion of a file is so compelling, despite its simplicity and beauty?
Operating systems take great pains to ensure that a file's succeeding blocks are written to a media block in sequential order. As we often interact with magnetic disks, why is it imperative that we do so?
When a file is saved to disk, it is the responsibility of the operating system to ensure that the blocks are ordered in a certain sequence. Why is this so crucial in relation to magnetic disks? Would the use of solid-state drives (SSDs) make a difference? What gives?
The operating system is responsible for ensuring that the blocks of a newly opened file are written to disc in the correct order. Is there anything unique about magnetic discs that justifies this being such a big deal? If solid-state drives (SSDs) were utilized instead, would it make a difference or not? - Why is this taking place?
What gives a file its enormous power despite its seeming simplicity?
Was the hierarchy of the file space something that arose by chance, or was it intentional from the beginning?
