Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

If a hard disk rotates at 7200 RPM, calculate the time taken for one full rotation. How would this time affect data access?

💡 Hint: Think of how RPM translates to time.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a disk that uses zone bit recording with three zones. If the inner zone holds 100 bits and increases by 50 bits per zone outward, what would be the bit capacity of the outer zone?

💡 Hint: Work through the layers step by step.
