What are tracks and sectors?​

Answer 1

A hard disk is a sealed unit containing a number of platters in a stack. Hard disks may be mounted in a horizontal or a vertical position. In this description, the hard drive is mounted horizontally. Electromagnetic read/write heads are positioned above and below each platter. As the platters spin, the drive heads move in toward the center surface and out toward the edge. In this way, the drive heads can reach the entire surface of each platter.

Each disk consists of platters, rings on each side of each platter called tracks, and sections within each track called sectors. A sector is the smallest physical storage unit on a disk, almost always 512 bytes in size.

Figure below illustrates a hard disk with two platters. The remainder of this section describes the terms used on the figure..

Answer 2

Answer:

tracks -: tracks are the circle that u see on the surface of the disk there circle are number being from zero from the outer part of the circle to innermost part of the circle as per capacity of disk the various tracks on the disk differ

sector -:the intersection breaking of is smallest parts is to be turmed as sector there are 8 sector mend for each track sectors hold the memory capacity of 512 bytes following is the calculate the storage capacity of disk number of sectors per track ×number of bytes per sector
