Bit Recording |
In
older hard drives, there were the same number of sectors on
the tracks near the center of the platter or disk as there
was in the outer tracks. Although the sectors all held 512
bytes, the physical size of the outside sectors was much larger.
Zone Bit Recording is a method of dividing up drives so that
sectors are all the same physical size and the outside tracks
contain more sectors than the inside tracks.
