Question

Which of the following is the correct representation for a storage capacity of a tape?

(a) Data recording density = Storage capacity

(b) Length = Storage capacity

(c) Storage capacity= Length * data recording density

(d) Storage capacity= Length + data recording density

I got this question in homework.

The question is from Magnetic Tapes in division Secondary Storage Devices of Computer Fundamentals

Answer 1

The correct choice is (c) Storage capacity= Length * data recording density

The explanation is: Storage capacity is nothing but the product of length and the data recording density. Magnetic tape is commonly used sequential-access secondary device. Data recording density is measured in bytes per inch.
