Learn about the geometry of how files are stored on a hard disk.



Physically, any hard disk on a desktop is physically the same size. If you look at a platter, it is made of thin-film media, and then coated with magnetic coating, it is not possible to save files once it has been created. If not, the low-level format cylinder, track, and sector have yet to be defined. What does track on a .platter mean? A track is a track that follows the circular path from the center of the platter to the center of the platter.
