True/False Without Explanation:
In HDD, data are read and written in contiguous blocks called
physical records.
As the block size increases the hit ratio will at first decrease
because of the principle of locality.
Contemporary systems increasingly rely on point-to-point
interconnection rather than shared buses.
When large volumes of data are to be moved direct memory access
(DMA) is used.
When magnetizable coating is applied to both sides of the
platter, this is a single sided platter.
Floppy disks and ZIP cartridge disks are examples of SSD.
For low-speed devices, a block multiplexor is used. While, for
high-speed devices, a byte multiplexor is used.
Direct addressing requires that the instruction have two address
fields, at least one of which is explicit.
Memory Buffer register (MBR) specifies the address in memory for
the next read or write.
