Answer :
Answer:
Capacity of the drive equals 1073741824 bytes.
Explanation:
Since it is given that there are 8 surfaces with 1024 tracks per surface thus the number of tracks in 8 surfaces equals [tex]8\times 1024=8192[/tex]
Now since it is given that there are 256 sectors per track thus the number of sectors in 8192 tracks equals [tex]256\times 8192=2097152[/tex]
Now since it is given that there are 512 bytes per sector thus the number of bytes in 2097152 sectors are [tex]512\times 2097152=1073741824[/tex]
Thus the number of bytes in the memory equals 1073741824 bytes.
