the Winchester Digital WD10EARS S-ATA II 300MB/s GreenPower WD Caviar Green |
5 |
1TByte Harddiscs offers something which WD calls "Advanced Format" |
6 |
which turns out to be sectors of 4096 bytes size instead of 512 bytes. |
7 |
|
8 |
To use it, one needs a tool made by WD which only runs under windows. |
9 |

10 |
Or? |

|
12 |
Is this "new sector size" is something, which I can activate |
13 |
be using fdisk/mkfs or something included in the linux kernel |
14 |
since stone age and is only new to the guys at Microsoft/Winchester |
15 |
Digital? |
16 |
|
17 |
Can I take any advantage of that? |
