    clusters


    since sector size is based on powers of 2, and clusters can be one or more sectors. is my hdd programed in a non-most basic of programming languages since it has like 43 million + sectors and is a mere 240GB in size?

    HUH? HD's are not "programmed" they are layed out in a grid so that data can be stored and retrieved. Can you be more specific about what you are asking?
