Tasks

1. How many 1TB disks do you need to achieve 4TB capacity of a RAID0, RAID1, and RAID5?
2. Suppose that a disk drive has 5,000 cylinders, numbered 0 to 4999. The drive is currently serving a request at cylinder 143, and the previous request was at cylinder 125. The queue of pending requests, in FIFO order, is: 86, 1470, 913, 1774, 948, 1509, 1022, 1750, 130. Starting from the current head position, what is the total distance (in cylinders) that the disk arm moves to satisfy all the pending requests if FCFS algorithm is used? Show your work.

8. If a system contains 1000 disk drives, each of which has 750000 hour MTBF (mean time between failure), then how often a drive failure will occur in that disk farm?
9. Mortality statistics indicate that, on the average, a U.S. resident has about 1 chance in 1,000 of dying between the ages of 20 and 21. Deduce the MTBF hours for 20-year-olds. Convert this ?gure from hours to years. What does this MTBF tell you about the expected lifetime of a 20-year-old?
10. A manufacturer guarantees 1000000 hour MTBF for a certain model of disk drives. What can you conclude about the length of the warranty period for these drives?
