Got a 2 month old WD20ears HDD which has former been used in a NAS that formatted the drive in some sort of Linux. Installed in Win 7 x64, made a primary partition and formatted it. Sisoft Sandra then says it runs with 512bytes sectors. How do I check if the hard drive is actually lowlevel format…

How to check for 512 or 4096 sector? WD20EARS

OK. Thank you for info. I’m on Win7, so I assume I have no problem at all with this :smiley:
