1. Digital data storage Magnetic
types Optical
Flash
2. Sector Section of the platter holding data. Shaped like a slice of pizza
3. Tracks Thin concentric, circular rings of a sector. At least one head is required to read
a single track
4. Head Reads/writes data in the hard drive by manipulating the magnetic medium on
the surface of a disk platter

Formed by combining sectors to ease the process of handling files (allocation
units). Sets of tracks and sectors.
Ranging from 2-32+ depending on formatting scheme
Minimum file size space is one cluster
6. Cylinders Division of data in a disk drive.
CHS address mode of a fixed block architecture disk
Cylinder-head-record (CHR) addressing mode of a CKD disk
7. Windows File Sys- FAT, FAT32, NTFS, EFS
