What is the quickest way of writing large amounts of data to disk? For
example, if using the character device driver to write directly to a disk,
is filling a track quicker than filling the same sector on each platter
(ie the same column of sectors in a cylinger)? If filling a track is
quicker, is a certain pattern preferable over another:
skip: 1, 6, 2, 7, 3, 8, 4, 9, 5
sequential: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Or perhaps could another method be devised using somekind of clever
storing algorithm...
