Unfortunately, this creates a problem for Windows XP users. This invisible (to the end-user) additional capacity is used to store positional information and for error correction code.ДЄdvanced Format drives emulate a 512 byte sector size, to keep backwards compatibility intact, by mapping eight logical 512 byte sectors to a single physical sector. These values, however, only refer to the accessible storage capacity, not the total size of the platter itself. The first 1TB drives, for example, used five 200GB platters current-generation 1TB drives use two 500GB platters. This is sometimes further broken down by the number of platters and the size of each. вЂ‹Hard drive sizes are typically given in terms of total storage capacity, where 1 byte = 10 bits. The new data label for Advanced Format drives. That Hurt - but, so does Installing, Re-Installing a computer's worth of programs and data. And to couinter the bad press that both sellers have been getting on shipping, I elected to pay an extra $18 for FedEX.

Looking at reviews on Amazon and NewEgg, one is struck by the fact that WD drives have ~50% ratings for 5 Bars (top rating) and My *new* Spinpoint F3 has an 81%. $89.99 SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5' Internal Hard Drive -Bare DriveДЇREE: Thermaltake BlacX N0028USU External Hard Drive SATA Enclosure Docking Station 2.5' & 3.5' USB 2.0 - Retail

What did I order? Special free offer was nice - but not the deciding factor. I don't know that the problems are related - just that I don't want to experience it again. (One mouse click might take 15+ minutes to register. I'm personally using Windows7, but I'm not liking the additional complexity and possible problems with subsquent exercises on my part.Дid I mention that I had to return a drive to Amazon earlier this year? It was a Western Digital 1.5 TB Caviar Green SATA Intellipower 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive WD15EADS.

The worst problems (solutions available) are with XP and with any OS with which you may be using Cloning Software for backups. It was to be a WD10EADS either from Amazon or NewEgg.

For me, it means not buying the WD hard drive that I've been researching. What does this mean for the user? Interesting question.

As such, Win 6.x is also affected by alignment issues when imaging software is used, as some (and perhaps all?) imaging products currently available will write misaligned partitions and/or clusters. Otherwise such imaging software may inadvertently create misaligned partitions too.

Along with the need for 4K-aware operating systems, drive imaging software needs to be 4K-aware. In essence, the issue is that Win 5.x will always create a misaligned first partition and will have poor default performance as a result.ДЄlthough Win 5.x is the primary victim here, other versions of Windows can also be affected in edge cases. Win 5.xx in particular has a nasty habit of starting the first partition at LBA 63, which is 1 512B sector misaligned from a 4K sector boundary. Even though all operating systems will be seeing 512B sectors through the use of emulation technology on the drive controller, out of Windows only Win 6.x (Vista, 2008, Win7) and later have been programmed to take in to account the alignment issues we mentioned earlier. As a result the 5.x versions of Windows (2K, XP, 2K3, WHS) have no concept of 4KB sectors. The big problem is that while the first work on 4KB sectors started in 1998, it wasnГўв‚¬в„ўt until after the launch of Windows XP that the matter came to a head. Now that weГўв‚¬в„ўve dealt with what 4K sectors are, why Western Digital and other drive manufacturers are switching to them, and what the potential pitfalls of 512B emulation are, we can look at the specific cases where there are potential problems.
