Because each sector still contains the same number of bytes, the outer sectors have lower bit density than the inner ones, which is an inefficient use of the magnetic surface. The solution is zone bit recording, wherein the disk is divided into zones, each encompassing a small number of contiguous tracks.
Since each sector retains an identical number of bytes, outer sectors have lower bit density compared to inner ones, which is an inefficient use of the magnetic surface. The solution involves zone bit recording, where the disk is divided into zones, each covering a small number of adjacent tracks.
