Format increases the physical sector size on
hard drives from 512 bytes to 4096 (4K)
bytes, which increases drive capacities and
improves error correction capabilities.

Compatibility Testing

The HGST Integration Lab tested this family
of Ultrastar™ drives for compatibility with a
wide variety of systems, Host Bus Adapter
cards, enclosures, operating systems, etc.
Testing was performed to demonstrate
compatibility with the following hardware
and software. Other combinations of
hardware and software are expected to
function with this product family, but have
not been evaluated. This compatibility
testing confirms simply that the hard drive
was recognized, partitioned and then data

was written to and read from it. Drive
capacity and interface speed are not always
verified during compatibility testing.

Many factors must be considered in order to
take advantage of high-capacity drives
(>2.2TB). Some configurations offer a
higher likelihood of success. If you want to
use a high-capacity drive, please refer to our

High Capacity Technolo g y Brief and visit

our Above 2TB web page at

HGST recommends you back up all data
before installing your new hard drive.
