What else can I help you with?
What do you call the subdivision of a track on magnetic disk or optical disk?
A sector
What is diff between ram and hard-disk?
ram stores instructions and a hard - disk stores data
A 3.5 disk stores how much data?
1.44 Mb
Is a hard disk a magnetic device that stores data?
Yes
What is Difference between track and sector?
track is a invisible circle on hard disk.and sectors are the segments of these circles.
What is an optical disks?
an optical disk which stores data optically
What is a parity track?
It's a track (a section of a magnetic disk, or a section of any given storage device that emulates a magnetic disk that uses the the LBA/CHS[Cylinder, Head, Sector]) that the computing device dedicates to store parity data (data to aid in error verification/correction for data that is stored on the disk).
A hard drive stores data on?
hard disk save data on platters. On platters there are tracks and sectors in which the data is saved.
What is the difference between track and sector?
track is a invisible circle on hard disk.and sectors are the segments of these circles.
A track on a disk is what?
data are stored on a circular tracks the 0s and 1s are represented magnetically
What is the difference between a disk sector and a track sector?
A magnetic disk is organized with circles called tracks. These tracks (think of the race track around a field) are the path followed by the magnetic head when reading and writing the signal. The data is organized into short sections, called sectors. This is just a convenient size of data, rather like a page is a convenient size within a book. When you read or write data, you do not need to follow the whole track as it spins, just as many sectors as contained the data you are interested in. On the most modern disks, each track holds a megabyte, more or less, and each sector is typically 4096 bytes. The whole disk may have hundreds of thousands of tracks.
What are the concentric magnetic circles that run around a disk platter called?
The concentric magnetic circles that run around a disk platter are called "tracks." Each track is a circular path on the surface of the disk where data is recorded. Data is organized in these tracks, and the read/write head of the disk accesses the information by moving to the appropriate track.
