im not even gonna try and hide it, i have the is hw problem that gives you characteristics of a hdd and im supposed to tell things about it. it says...
Consider a disk with the following characteristics: block size B=512 bytes, interblock gap size G=128 bytes,
number of blocks per track=20, number of tracks per surface=400. A disk pack consists of 15 double-sided disks.
What is the total capacity of a track and what is its useful capacity (excluding interblock gaps)?
i mean i understand that, its very simple to say that a track has (20*512) bytes in a track (plus interblock size) except how can each track have the same number of blocks per track? the inner tracks are obviously smaller than the outer tracks? im not trying to nag anyone for answers, this just doesnt make sense to me.
