Chapter 7 (Operating system Concepts)

Is it more efficient to write a series of records on surface one and, when that surface is full, to continue writing on surface two, and then surface three and so on?

You will find help with this in the chapter.

Or is it better to fill up every outside track of every surface before moving the heads inward to the next track position to continue writing?

2. Explain "in detail", your choice.

3. Include which one is faster, based on Seek, Search, Transfer.
