If a disk drive has 8 surfaces and there are 1024 tracks per surface with 256 sectors per track and 512 bytes/sector. what is the capacity of the drive?

The capacity of the drive in Gigabytes equals 1.0737 Gbs

Explanation:

Given there are 1024 tracks per surface.

Number of surfaces = 8

Hence number of tracks in 8 surfaces equals tracks

Now it is given that there are 256 sectors per track thus the number of sectors in 8192 tracks equals sectors

Now it is given that there are 512 bytes per sector thus the number of bytes in 2097152  equals bytes

Converting to gigabytes the capacity of the drive in gigabytes equals 1.0737Gbs

answer; i believe the correct answer is (b) by using a multimeter;

this does not make any sense.. i you can reword that i can maybe you
