Consider a disk with the following characteristics:
Number of surface 16
Number of sectors / cylinder 4096
Number of tracks per surface 2048
Number of bytes per sector 512
1) How many patters does the disk have ?
I got: number of surfaces / 2
= 8
2)How many sectors per tack ?
I got: Number tracks per cylinder = tracks per surface * surfaces
= 2048 * 16
= 32, 768
Number of sectors per track = number of tracks per cylinder / number of sectors per cylinder
= 32, 768 / 4096
= 8
3) What is the total size of this disk
I got : Total size = cylinders * surfaces * sectors per track * 512 bytes
= 32,768 * 16 * 8 * 512
= 2, 147, 483, 648 bytes
= 2, 097, 152 Mb
= 2, 048 Gb
The thing is, I dont know if this is right solution
Question2: Number of surface 16 -> a cylinder consists of 16 tracks. Number of sectors / cylinder == 4096 Then sectors per track = 4096/16 = 256 Question3: 16 * 2048 * 256 * 512 = 4294967296
