Hi, b the Winchester Digital WD10EARS S-ATA II 300MB/s GreenPower WD Caviar Green 1TByte Harddiscs offers something which WD calls "Advanced Format" which turns out to be sectors of 4096 bytes size instead of 512 bytes.
To use it, one needs a tool made by WD which only runs under windows. Or? Is this "new sector size" is something, which I can activate be using fdisk/mkfs or something included in the linux kernel since stone age and is only new to the guys at Microsoft/Winchester Digital? Can I take any advantage of that? Thank you very much for any help and advice in advance! Have a nice sunday! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
