Disk file systems

A disk file system manages how data is stored and retrieved on a storage device like a hard drive or SSD. It organizes data into files and folders, keeping track of where each file's data is physically located on the disk. This system ensures that users can save, access, and modify files efficiently without needing to know the complex details of the hardware. Different file systems, such as NTFS or FAT32, have various ways of handling data, permissions, and storage, helping the computer system manage space effectively and securely.
