312-49v10 Exam - Question 519


A digital forensics investigator is examining a suspect's hard disk drive. The hard disk is known to have 16,384 cylinders, 16 heads, and 63 sectors per track, with a sector size of 512 bytes. During the investigation, the forensic analyst identifies a particular file that resides in two sectors. Considering that each sector contains data plus overhead information such as ID, synchronization fields. ECC, and gaps, what is the maximum potential size of this particular file stored on the disk?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Given that each sector can hold up to 512 bytes of data and the file resides in two sectors, the file's size must be more than 512 bytes but less than 1024 bytes. Therefore, the maximum potential size of the file is more than 512 bytes but less than 1024 bytes.
