I came across computer magazines regarding reduction of fragmentation of a
hard disk is to allocate a separate partition to it, say 1G. And some of the
magazines claim that in order to increase the performance of read/write of a
hard disk is to allocate that page file into separate physical hard disk
other than the OS is installed with the idea of separate use of the
read/write head of the respective physical hard disk. Correct?
Some of the hard disks anatomy:
20G hard disk consists of single platter bearing 20G capacity.
40G hard disk consists of double platters bearing 20G capacity each (to be
analysed).
If you have just a single hard disk (40G), you still can increase the
performance of read/write of the hard disk by ensuring allocation of page
file into a different platter other than the OS is installed through
partitioning because each platter consists of its own read/write head, hence
now, a single hard disk can perform as if there are two physical hard disk.
Correct?
If I'm correct, then how am I suppose to determine or sure that the page
file is allocated onto different platter other than the OS is installed
through partitioning on this 40G encompasses 2 platters???
Thank you for reading.
