This document discusses secondary storage structures, including different types of storage devices like magnetic tapes and disks. It describes the components and workings of tapes, floppy disks, and hard disks. Various disk scheduling algorithms are also covered, such as First Come First Serve, Shortest Seek Time First, SCAN, Look, C-SCAN, and C-LOOK. These algorithms differ in how they determine the order of requests to minimize the disk head's movement across tracks and reduce average seek and rotational latency times.
