Assume that a hard disk has the following characteristics:
Rotation speed = 7,200 rev/min
Arm movement time = 0.5 msec fixed startup time
+ 0.05 msec for each track crossed. (The startup time is a constant no matter how far the arm moves.) Number of surfaces = 2 (This is a double-sided disk. A single read/write arm holds both read/ write heads.)
Number of tracks per surface = 500
Number of sectors per track = 20
Number of characters per sector = 1,024
a. How many characters can be stored on this disk?
b. What are the best-case, worst-case, and average-case access times for this disk?
