Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 519

The surface of a hard disk consists of several concentric rings known as tracks; each of these tracks has smaller partitions called disk blocks. What is the size of each block?

Answer options

• A. 512 bits
• B. 512 bytes
• C. 256 bits
• D. 256 bytes

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as disk blocks are typically sized at 512 bytes in modern hard drives. Options A and C incorrectly state the size in bits instead of bytes, while D offers a smaller byte size that is not standard for disk blocks.
