Answer:
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 [tex]1024\times 8=8192[/tex] tracks
Now it is given that there are 256 sectors per track thus the number of sectors in 8192 tracks equals [tex]8192\times 256=2097152[/tex] sectors
Now it is given that there are 512 bytes per sector thus the number of bytes in 2097152 equals [tex]2097152\times 512=1073741824[/tex] bytes
Converting to gigabytes the capacity of the drive in gigabytes equals 1.0737Gbs
