Cylinders increase as drive size increases.
We are seeing drives with as high as 24000 cylinders or as low as 50. To figure the drive's capacity, multiply the cylinder, head, and sector numbers together. Divide the product by 2048. 2048 equals megabytes This will give you a number in megabytes that is equal to the size of the drive. The system uses these numbers to help it when reading and writing to the disk.
