How do you compute a disk’s storage capacity?
Multiply number of sides, number of tracks, number of sectors per
track, and number of bytes per sector
For high-density disk: 2 sides × 80 tracks × 18 sectors per track × 512
bytes per sector = 1,474,560 bytes
Capacity: 1.44 MB
Characteristics of a
3.5inch HighDensity Sides: 2
Floppy Disk
Tracks: 80
Sectors per track: 18
Bytes per sector: 512
Sectors per disk: 2880
