It is tried that concurrent parts of a file will be stored on subsequent devices in sequence. Is there a particular reason why carrying out these steps is absolutely necessary for magnetic disks? Should one continue make use of solid-state drives (SSDs), even if they are readily accessible, or is this an activity that should be avoided? Why does this hold true?
