Expert Solution

Yes, Operating system process scheduler treat a process that makes extensive use of a hard-disk storage device differently from one that makes extensive use of a solid-state storage device.

This is because of the reasons given below:

As we compare both Hard disk storage device and solid-state storage device, we can say that:

1) solid-state storage device will take less time either to read /write as hard-disk storage device takes more time to perform either read or write operation.

2) solid-state storage device will files transfer in less time than that of hard-disk storage devices.

3) solid-state storage device considers random access to transfer files while hard-disk storage device will do sequential data transfer so that time effects.

4) Process scheduler work is to run all the activities of Operating System by running CPU at back end. As both storage devices are working different process scheduler should consider different process.

. Suppose a PC manufacturer wants to evaluate the performance of its hard disk memory system. One measure of performance is the average time between failures of the disk drive. To estimate this value, a quality control engineer recorded the time between failures for a random sample of 49 disk-drive failures. A summary of the sample statistics was that x-bar = 5,790.36 hours and with sample standard deviation s = 224 hours. Estimate the true mean time between failures with...
