Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A hard disk operates at a rotational speed of 7200 RPM. Calculate the average rotational latency. How would this latency change if the disk speed is increased to 15000 RPM?
💡 Hint: Remember to convert RPM to revolutions per second first.
Question 2
Discuss the impact of varying block sizes on the overall performance of a hard disk in terms of access speed and space efficiency. Provide examples.
💡 Hint: Consider the trade-off between speed and space conservation.
