From my experience with WD 2TB Advance format hard drive ..
before installing to HDPro I usually use western digital WDAlign software to convert the hard drive into conventional cluster size...(so no need to use jumpers) No problem so far ... (Done a few already) QUOTE(helob @ Aug 1 2010, 11:49 PM) WD has just started selling Advanced Format PC Internal drive like the 640GB WD6400AARS. ( cluster size is 4KB vs 512B conventional) For full performance, it must either set jumpers 7-8 or use WD align software for Windows XP. Some claim that it affect perform on Linux too. Do you know whether this will affect performance if use in HDPro as internal HD? Anyone has experience on above, pls share. TQ  |

i am not to sure on this ... but because i am using windows xp to transfer files into the 2TB .. i make sure that the drive is compatible to it.. if you using windows7 or and sorely on hdpro it should be ok not doing anything.. as some of the hdpro for customers, i don't want headache if got problem later.. so just make as compatible as possible.. jumpers will only make itchy customers fingers to pull out.. QUOTE(helob @ Aug 2 2010, 05:28 PM) So you are saying that we need to install the WDAlign software. Have you tried without installing WDAlign software? I asked because I have used the Advanced format disk without the WDAlign software and everything is working normal. Why didn't you use jumper Pin7-8 ? TQ |
