How is data stored on a disk?

Answer Posted / Arjun Kumar Sharma

Data stored on a disk is organized into sectors. Each sector contains a specific amount of data (like 512 bytes) and a unique address, called its sector number. Sectors are grouped together to form tracks, cylinders, and clusters based on the disk geometry. The filesystem maps these logical units to physical locations for efficient data management.
