Question: 1 . ( A ) On a disk system with: a data block ( consecutive sectors which is the access unit ) size is 4

1.(A) On a disk system with: a data block (consecutive sectors which is the access unit) size is 4
Kbytes, RPM is 7200, average seek time is 3 msec, and the data transfer rate is 20 MB/s, what is
the access time to read a data block at a random location? If the data block size is 64 Mbytes,
what would be the access time? (C) If a disk system contains 1,000 disk drives (uniquely numbered as HID 0001 HID1000), and the
probability of an individual disk failure is 1/100,000. What will be the probability that the
system experiences any disk failure? Note that failures happen independently. (D) In the same system as described in c), two copies of a data block are stored in HID200 and
HID300. What is the probability that the system loses the data block due to the concurrent
failure of HID200 and HID300?
