If the disk is rotating at 360 rpm, determine the effective data transfer rate in kbps, which is defined as the number of bytes transferred per second between disk and memory. (Track size = 512 bytes)
Attempted by 49 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: 3
Disk speed = 360 rpm = 6 rotations per second
( since 360 ÷ 60 = 6 )
In one rotation, data transferred = 512 bytes
So,
Data transfer rate = 6 × 512 = 3072 bytes/second
