External drives compatible with windows image backup

Does anyone know of any WD 2Tb USB3 drives that do not use a 4k sector size as these do not work with windows based image backup, I need some with 512 byte emulation.

Hello jimdunleavy,

Welcome to the WD Community,

It’s hard to tell since the model number of the drive inside of the My Book or any other external drive is not listed on the specifications.

Most likely one of the previews versions of the My Book might have a drive like that.

Hopefully, one of the users can provide you additional information.

Have you tried formatting the drive with a third party tool? That might have some options.
