Before a disk drive can access any sector record, a computer program has to provide the record’s disk address. What information does this address specify?

  • A.Track number
  • B.Sector number
  • C.Surface number
  • D.All of above

Answer: D

Correct answer: All of above

A disk address must identify the sector uniquely, and that takes all three coordinates: which surface (which platter and which side of it), which track on that surface, and which sector along the track. This is the classic cylinder-head-sector scheme.
