QUOTE(cherroy @ Jun 8 2010, 11:11 AM) For the size of 1TB, if format entire HDD (not quick format type), surely take a few hours to complete. Hmm.... I don't think so.....  First time using quick format with install WinXP is take up to 50min Within week by week, i become slow and slow via copy, paste document or install software...... And 1 month later.... it totally become like a snail.... -.-" So I try repair the window.... but resulting failed.... because it will to copy WinXP file into the HDD.... So I use up about 2 hours.. to format.... If as you said..... 1 TB need that much time..... then 2 TB sure need double of the time  For the HDD.... I had warranty for a new unit but haven't use it because I already install 160GB Caviar Blue.... As I gone through few website.... they had stated that Caviar Green have many problem.

First time yes... but second time nope..... as cherroy said, yes, it do takes time to format if u use normal format. Sometimes it can be up for a couple of hours That really trouble if really need that much time.... If in future, there is 10TB.... then i have spent 20hours only for format  This post has been edited by StreetX: Jun 8 2010, 03:37 PM |

QUOTE(mitodna @ Jun 8 2010, 09:10 PM) Thank you. To confirm with you that... is this will fasten the speed of formatting HDD?QUOTE(everling @ Jun 8 2010, 09:22 PM) They said the performance loss of an unaligned WD10EARS, or any 4K sector HDD, with Windows XP will be about 11% on average. But maybe that is without considering file fragmentation. Is that mean WinXP will damage WD10EARS HDD? |
