Simulator
Explore how modern hard disk drives operate using a simulator to visualize seek, rotation, and transfer times for disk sectors. Understand key HDD parameters like rotational speed, sector layout, and seek distance. Learn to compute disk access times and examine how different request sequences affect overall performance with hands-on simulation.

This exercise uses disk.py to familiarize you with how a modern hard
drive works. It has a lot of different options, and unlike most of the other
simulations, it has a graphical animator to ...
