Word: ZCAV

Def: (Zone Constant Angular Velocity; also called zone bit recording).Ordinarily, data is recorded on a magnetic disk on concentric track that each hold the same number of bit.When the disk rotates at constant speed (constant angular velocity), the track near the periphery of the disk move faster than the track near the center.Therefore, the outside track must be physically larger in order to hold the same amount of data a the inner tracks; they also have less recording density.
