Question

Consider using an SSD for storing student records a. Explain why updating student records can potentially take significant more time than adding new student records. b. All operating systems have

buffers that store data to be written to the disk until a page of data is filled before writing to the disk (or until the OS explicitly force the buffer to be written). Name two reasons why using buffers are crucial in the case when appending new student records to the file.
