Hard disk is the secondary storage device, which holds the
data in bulk, and it holds the data on the magnetic medium
of the disk.Hard disks have a hard platter that holds the
magnetic medium, the magnetic medium can be easily erased
and rewritten, and a typical desktop machine will have a
hard disk with a capacity of between 10 and 40 gigabytes.
Data is stored onto the disk in the form of files.

What is Scheduling algorithm?
Measurements of a certain system have shown that the
average process runs for a time T before blocking
on I/O. A process switch requires a time S, which is
effectively wasted (overhead). The CPU’s efficiency is
the fraction of its time its spends executing user
programs, i.e., executing user processes. For round robin
scheduling with quantum Q, give a formula for the CPU
efficiency for each of the following:
(a) Q = ∞
(b) Q > S + T
(c) S What is the cause of thrashing? Give a non-computer example of preemptive and non-preemptive scheduling? What do you mean by a zombie process? What are the 4 stages of computing?
