track
<storage> The part of a disk which passes under one read/write head while
the head is stationary. The number of tracks on a disk surface therefore
corresponds to the number of different radial positions of the head(s). The
collection of all tracks on all surfaces at a given radial position is known a
cylinder and each track is divided into sectors.
