This lecture covers the anatomy of a disk, disk access times, seeking in modern disks, disk space management, RAID, flash disks, buffer management in a DBMS, buffer replacement policies, and tree-structured indexing techniques like B+ Trees. It emphasizes the importance of arranging data sequentially on disk to minimize seek and rotation delays, as well as the impact of buffer management policies on I/O performance.
