Differentiate between storage media with constant linear velocity (CLV) and constant angular velocity (CAV).

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

CLV vs CAV

  • CLV: linear speed constant, angular speed varies (inner faster), higher capacity outer, used CD/DVD. Density uniform.
  • CAV: angular speed constant, linear speed varies outward, simpler, faster seek, used HDD. Outer tracks have more sectors with zone bit recording.
