You have a disk with an average seek time of 3ms. Its rotation speed is 20,000rpm. The disk is organized as 512-byte sectors with 500 sectors per track. Assume that the disk uses sequential organization. How long would it take to read a file consisting of 3000 sectors? What is the total size of the file read in MB?

Suppose you have a 100GB database housed on a disk array that supports a transfer rate of 60MBps and a tape drive that supports 200GB cartridges with a transfer rate of 80MBps. How long will it take to back up the database? What is the transfer time if 2:1 compression is possible?
An application loads 100 libraries at start-up. Loading each library requires exactly one disk access. The seek time of the disk to a random location is given as 10 ms. Rotational speed of disk is 6000 rpm. If all 100 libraries are loaded from random locations on the disk, how long does it take to load all libraries? (The time to transfer data from the disk block once the head has been positioned at the start of the block may be neglected.)

5.Find out how many parts are there in a floppy disk? Suppose a 3.5 inches floppy disk contained 80 tracks, each of which is divided into sectors capable of holding 512 characters. How many characters will the disk hold if each track is divided into 9 sectors? What if each track contains 18 sectors? How does these capacities compare to the size of 400-page novel in which each page contains 3500 characters?
