  2. Density (computer storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_(computer_storage)

    For example, we can calculate the effective transfer speed for a floppy disc by determining how fast the bits move under the head. A standard 3½-inch floppy disk spins at 300 rpm, and the innermost track is about 66 mm long (10.5 mm radius). At 300 rpm the linear speed of the media under the head is thus about 66 mm × 300 rpm = 19800 mm ...

  3. Disc integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_integration

    Disc integration, also known in integral calculus as the disc method, is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution of a solid-state material when integrating along an axis "parallel" to the axis of revolution. This method models the resulting three-dimensional shape as a stack of an infinite number of discs of varying radius ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder-head-sector

    Cylinder, head, and sector of a hard drive. Cylinder-head-sector (CHS) is an early method for giving addresses to each physical block of data on a hard disk drive.. It is a 3D-coordinate system made out of a vertical coordinate head, a horizontal (or radial) coordinate cylinder, and an angular coordinate sector.

  5. Optical storage media writing and reading speed - Wikipedia

    Writing a DVD at 1× (1 385 000 bytes per second) [5] is approximately 9 times faster than writing a CD at 1× (153 600 bytes per second). [6] However, the actual speeds depend on the type of data being written to the disc. [6] For Blu-ray discs, 1× speed is defined as 36 megabits per second (Mbit/s), which is equal to 4.5 megabytes per second ...

  6. Disk (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_(mathematics)

    In geometry, a disk (also spelled disc) [1] is the region in a plane bounded by a circle. A disk is said to be closed if it contains the circle that constitutes its boundary, and open if it does not. [2] For a radius, , an open disk is usually denoted as and a closed disk is ¯.

  7. Area density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_density

    In the case of a disk seen face-on, area density for a given area of the disk is defined as column density: that is, either as the mass of substance per unit area integrated along the vertical path that goes through the disk (line-of-sight), from the bottom to the top of the medium:

  8. Disk density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_density

    Disk density is a capacity designation on magnetic storage, usually floppy disks. Each designation describes a set of characteristics that can affect the areal density of a disk or the efficiency of the encoded data.

  9. Unit disk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_disk

    is an example of a real analytic and bijective function from the open unit disk to the plane; its inverse function is also analytic. Considered as a real 2-dimensional analytic manifold, the open unit disk is therefore isomorphic to the whole plane. In particular, the open unit disk is homeomorphic to the whole plane.
