Consider a magnetic disk drive with 8 surfaces, 512 tracks/surface, and 64 sectors/track.Sector size is 1 kB. The average seek time is 8 ms, the track-to-track access time is 1.5

ms,and the drive rotates at 3600 rpm. Successive tracks in a cylinder can be read without headmovement. Show your work to receive full credit. . What is the disk capacity? b. What is the average access time in milliseconds? Assume this file is stored in successive sectors and tracks of successive cylinders, startingat sector 0, track 0, of cylinder i.
