Hello,
It's pretty straight forward to simply save something on to a drive and add that file to the file system. But, you'd have no way of knowing exactly where on that drive that information was saved; the computer handles that for you.
But, what if you'd like to save something to a specific location on the drive?
How do you save to a specific sector, track, platter, part of the USB drive, etc.?
How do you perform a "low level" data write?
Do languages with direct memory management like C allow you to do these sorts of things?
Thanks.
