The total storage capacity of a disk drive using Cylinder-Head-Sector (CHS) addressing is calculated by multiplying these four values together. The formula is:

Total Size = (Number of Cylinders) × (Number of Heads) × (Number of Sectors per Track) × (Bytes per Sector)

Using the provided values:

Total Size = 16,384 × 80 × 63 × 512

Total Size = 42,278,584,320 bytes

This calculation determines the raw data capacity of the hard disk based on its physical or logical geometry.

B. This value is incorrect due to a miscalculation in the final digits, suggesting a minor arithmetic error during the multiplication.

C. This value is incorrect, likely resulting from an error in multiplying one of the intermediate CHS components.

D. This value is significantly larger and incorrect, indicating a substantial error in the multiplication process, possibly a data entry mistake.

In Chapter 5, "Large and Fast: Exploiting Memory Hierarchy," the principles of disk storage, including sectors, tracks, and cylinders, are explained, forming the basis for capacity calculation.

The lecture slides (specifically slide 12, "Disk Drives") detail the organization of a disk into platters, tracks, and sectors, and how these parameters determine total capacity. The formula Capacity = (#cylinders) (#surfaces/cylinder) (avg #sectors/track) (#bytes/sector) is presented.
