[CHS] was conceived at a time when 10[MB] was the average capacity of a HardDisk. Nowadays, the ranges available for the coordinates of each axis have become insufficient to express the actual location of a sector, so [CHS] addresses have long ceased to correspond to the actual location of a sector. Performance considerations also play a role here. In practice, [CHS] addresses are therefore translated by the HardDisk's electronics to map them to the real position of a sector. |
