[MC] Contiguous allocation of files has some advantages and some disadvantages. Which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of contiguous allocation? Slow seek time.

Contiguous allocation stores each file in consecutive blocks of a disk or other device. That has no real effect on seek time, but does speed up reading the entire file.

It is ideal to store a file in consecutive blocks. But requiring a file to be in consecutive blocks forces files to be moved sometimes in order to make them longer, and can break the available disk blocks up into small segments (external fragmentation).
