What is the maximum HDD size limit per original specs for IDE?

528MB
1GB
10GB
100MB

The correct answer is: 528MB

The original specifications for IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) limited the maximum HDD (Hard Disk Drive) size to 528MB. This is because IDE's architecture and technology were not capable of handling larger capacities at the time of its release in the 1980s. While newer versions of IDE have come out with increased capacity limits, the original specs were limited to 528MB. Therefore, the other options of 1GB, 10GB, and 100MB are incorrect as they exceed the maximum limit of 528MB.
