Suppose we have a computer with the following characteristics: the magnetic disk has an accesslatency of 15 milliseconds and a streaming transfer rate of 5 megabytes per second. For the disk described,what is the effective transfer rate if an average access is followed by a streaming transfer ofa. 1024 bytes
Suppose that a disk drive rotates at 8000 RPM. It has an average seek time of 4 milliseconds. If its transfer rate is 15 Mbps, determine the average time it takes for a 15K byte request to be transferred from the time the disk starts the seek? From this, determine its throughput.
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?
