A rotating memory system (eg a disk memory is described in which a write request is allocated a physical block preferentially on the cylinder on which read/write heads are currently located. This reduces the amount of head movement and hence speeds up the access time. A block map is maintained to convert between the logical block numbers used by read and write requests and the physical block numbers which identify the physical locations of the blocks in the memory. <IMAGE> |
