Disk Scheduling Algorithms are methods used by operating systems to manage how data is read from and written to a hard disk drive or solid-state drive. These algorithms determine the order in which disk requests are processed, aiming to optimize performance and reduce wait times for users. Common types of disk scheduling algorithms include First-Come, First-Served (FCFS), Shortest Seek Time First (SSTF), and Elevator Algorithm (SCAN). Each algorithm has its strengths and weaknesses, affecting factors like response time and overall system efficiency, depending on the workload and access patterns.
