Everybody knows that WD GOLD 14 tb WD141KRYZ work on same platform like Ultrastar DC HC530 SATA WUH721414ALE6L4 (Power by Ultrastar)
But in instruction for Ultrastar on page 17 we see phrase
https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library/en_us/assets/public/western-digital/product/data-center-drives/ultrastar-dc-hc500-series/product-manual-ultrastar-dc-hc530-sata-oem-spec.pdf#page17
E6 = Interface (512e SATA 6Gb/s)
y = z =
(52 = 512e SAS 12Gb/s)
** 512e models can be converted to 4Kn format and vice versa
And in all Ultrastar brief and from October 2019 this phrase was added, also it was added to Specitification in November 2019.
** 512e models can be converted to 4Kn format and vice versa
But nobody added this phrase to brief of WD GOLD WD141KRYZ, and there are no specification for this drive.
As I see if the drives are very similar and the differencies is only in the name and in politic of waranty of WD for WD GOLD so this phrase
** 512e models can be converted to 4Kn format and vice versa
can be implement to WD GOLD 14 tb WD141KRYZ, can’t be?
Or WD GOLD have fix 512e sector and no possibility to convert it to 4kn like in WD Ultrastar?
