The correct option is D All of the above
Before a disk drive can access any sector record, a
computer program has to provide the record's disk address. Track number, Sector
number and Surface number information does this address specify.
A disk drive track is a circular path on the surface of a
disk or diskette on which information is magnetically recorded and from which
recorded information is read. A track is a physical division of data in a disk drive,
as used in the Cylinder-Head-Record (CCHHR) addressing mode of a CKD disk.
Each sector stores a fixed amount of user-accessible data,
traditionally 512 bytes for hard disk drives (HDDs) and 2048 bytes for CD-ROMs
and DVD-ROMs. Newer HDDs use 4096-byte (4 KiB) sectors, which are known as the
Advanced Format (AF). The sector is the minimum storage unit of a hard drive.
In computer disk storage, a sector is a subdivision of a
track on a magnetic disk or optical disc. Each sector stores a fixed amount of
user-accessible data, traditionally 512 bytes for hard disk drives (HDDs) and
2048 bytes for CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs. Newer HDDs use 4096-byte (4 KiB) sectors,
which are known as the Advanced Format (AF). The sector is the minimum storage
