Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a disk that uses zoning to organize its data. If each zone holds an average of 1024 bytes and there are 5 tracks, what is the total amount of data that can be stored across zones?

💡 Hint: Consider the amount of data each zone holds and how many zones there could be.

Question 2

Discuss how the introduction of high-density storage devices has changed the way data access is managed compared to traditional disks with simpler circuitry.

💡 Hint: Think about the technology involved in handling denser data.
