Cylinder-head-sector, also known as CHS, was an early method for giving addresses to each physical block of data on a hard disk drive. In the case of floppy drives, for which the same diskette medium can be low-level formatted to different capacities, this is still true. Although CHS values no longer have a direct physical relationship to the data stored on disks, pseudo CHS values (which can be translated by disk electronics or software) are still being used by many utility programs

What is the difference between a transistor used as a switch and an amplifier?

A transistor used as a switch is operated in saturated mode, where the ratio of base-emitter current over collector-emitter current is far more than hFe, or beta gain. The transistor is either fully on or fully off in this mode. A transistor used as an amplifier is operated in linear mode, where the ratio of base-emitter current over collector-emitter current is equal to or less than hFe, or beta gain. The transistor is partially on in this mode, and is operating as a current controlled current sink.


Is a hard disk rewritable and able to be used again and again?

Yes, most hard drives are rewritable. SSD drives can be rewritten to less times than conventional drives, but that is still many times. The OS deletes from hard drives and makes new files all the time. If the hard disk was not reusable, then everyone would be buying them more often, and they would be more easily accessible from the outside of the computer.

What is the best form of transport?

The best mode of transportation is walking, because it is 100% "green" (no gas used, no emissions etc.) and because it is excellent exercise. However, if you need to go a far distance, the train is a great mode of transportation as it is rapid, no traffic, and much less expensive than flying.
