In Linux, disk sector size can be determined with fdisk-l | grep " Sector size " and block size can be determined with blockdev-- getbsz / dev / sda.

Since the hard drive doesn't allow you to have just one bit here and a couple there, you end up with one disk sector here, and a couple there, instead.
23.
When the read is commanded, the program stored in disk sector 0 overlays the bootstrap program and, once the JMP instruction is overlaid, the disk program takes control of the machine.
24.
This approach eliminates the need for hardcoded locations of hard disk sectors and existence of map files, and does not require MBR updates after the kernel images are added or moved around.
25.
Sector is arguably the better term to use for the physical chunks on hard drives since blocks often refers to the chunks used by the file system, Disk sector # Sectors versus blocks.
26.
The data itself can be as small as one bit or as large as 65536 bytes of whole raw disk sectors ( the maximum that will fit into one real-mode memory segment ).
27.
In computing, an "'address space "'defines a range of discrete addresses, each of which may correspond to a network host, peripheral device, disk sector, a memory cell or other logical or physical entity.
28.
Even its corporate offices and five " creative centers " where one-fifth of AOL's 15, 000 employees work have a non-tech feel, discounting rooms oddly named after disk sectors, as in 46B : J00.
29.
These contain lists of absolute disk sectors in their MBR, which must be altered by the cloning program if the files they refer to are not in the same location of the destination disk.
30.
There was a hierarchy of device drivers : those ending in Z were for Fortran, such as DISKZ, while assembler programmers might use DISK0, and DISK1 was even faster at reading multiple disk sectors.
