How does contiguous and non-continguous volume work on hard disks?

213 viewsOtherTechnology

I am new to studying computer science and have been touching on the world of memory; more specifically, how partitioning and volume work. I understand, on a basic sense, how partitioning is done, but can not seem to understand how contiguous and non-contiguous volume works, or how the hard disk knows which is which. TIA!

Computers don’t give a shit if there’s Green Eggs and Ham in the middle of Hamlet’s soliloquy. That’s non-contiguous storage of a file. As long as the memory addresses are kept straight, it doesn’t matter much how big or small they are or where they are physically in memory.
