The answer is FALSE because the interior of commercial Hard disk drive is with stack of magnetic disks (platters) containing the user’s data and a rotating arm supporting the magnetic heads. The rotating arm is moved by the torque generated by a voice coil motor (VCM) mounted at one end of the arm. Data read/write operations rely on the capability of the governing unit of the HDD to maintain the magnetic read/write heads as close as possible to center of the desired track. Typically, reliability of data reading and writing is guaranteed when the head is kept within 5% of the track pitch from the track center. This means that the accuracy required for the head positioning is in the range of a few tens of nanometers.

<span>c.      </span>Wear prevention

<span>d.      </span>Wear leveling

The answer is d) Wear leveling.


This technique by some SSD controllers to increase the memory’s lifetime is called wear leveling. The mechanism for this principle is simple: distribute the entries for all the blocks evenly so that they will wear out evenly. Flash controller typically manages wear leveling and uses a wear leveling algorithm to control which physical block to use.
