  2. Logical block addressing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_block_addressing

    In logical block addressing, only one number is used to address data, and each linear base address describes a single block. The LBA scheme replaces earlier schemes which exposed the physical details of the storage device to the software of the operating system. Chief among these was the cylinder-head-sector (CHS) scheme, where blocks were addressed by means

  4. 48-bit computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/48-bit_computing

    The address size used in logical block addressing was increased to 48 bits with the introduction of ATA-6. The Ext4 file system physically limits the file block count to 48 bits. The minimal implementation of the x86-64 architecture provides 48-bit addressing encoded into 64 bits; future versions of the architecture can expand this without ...

  5. Hack computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hack_computer

    The Hack computer’s ROM module is presented as a linear array of individually addressable, sequential, 16-bit memory registers. Addresses start at 0 (0x0000). Since the memory elements are sequential devices, a system clock signal is supplied by the simulation application and the computer emulator application.

  7. GUID Partition Table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table

    Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block. The GUID Partition Table ( GPT ) is a standard for the layout of partition tables of a physical computer storage device , such as a hard disk drive or solid-state drive , using universally unique identifiers (UUIDs), which are also ...

  8. INT 13H - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INT_13H

    INT 13h is shorthand for BIOS interrupt call 13 hex, the 20th interrupt vector in an x86-based (IBM PC-descended) computer system.The BIOS typically sets up a real mode interrupt handler at this vector that provides sector-based hard disk and floppy disk read and write services using cylinder-head-sector (CHS) addressing.

  9. Cylinder-head-sector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder-head-sector

    Cylinder-head-sector (CHS) is an early method for giving addresses to each physical block of data on a hard disk drive. It is a 3D-coordinate system made out of a vertical coordinate head, a horizontal (or radial) coordinate cylinder, and an angular coordinate sector. Head selects a circular surface: a platter in the disk (and one of its two ...
