Tracks & Advanced Format of Sectors
Tracks & Advanced Format of Sectors In this article explain hard disk track and diffrent andvance format of sector and there uses. Tracks Platters have two surfaces, and each surface divides into concentric circles called tracks. They store all the information on a hard disk. Tracks on the platter partition hold large chunks of data. A modern hard disk contains tens of thousands of tracks on each platter. The rolling heads read and write from the inner to outermost part of the disk. This kind of data arrangement enables easy access to any part of the disk; therefore, hard disks get the moniker as random access storage devices. Each track contains a number of smaller units called sectors. Every platter has the same track density. The track density refers to the compactness of the track circles so that it can hold maximum number of bits within each unit area on the surface of the platter. It also determines the storage capacity of data on the hard disk. It is a comp...
