Using the specifications for the disk drive given in Exercise 8.2, calculate the expected time to read one entire track, one sector, and one byte. Show your calculations.

Exercise 8.2

Assume a disk drive from the late 1990s is configured as follows. The total storage is approximately 675MB divided among 15 surfaces. Each surface has 612 tracks; there are 144 sectors/track, 512 bytes/sector, and 8 sectors/cluster. The disk turns at 3600 rpm. The track-to-track seek time is 20 ms, and the average seek time is 80 ms. Now assume that there is a 360KB file on the disk. On average, how long does it take to read all of the data in the file? Assume that the first track of the file is randomly placed on the disk, that the entire file lies on adjacent tracks, and that the file completely fills each track on which it is found. A seek must be performed each time the I/O head moves to a new track. Show your calculations.
