Advanced Format Hard Drives and Linux?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm going to be screwing a new system together in the next few days. I got a 
Hitachi Deskstar HDS721010CLA332 1TB drive for main storage. My question is 
will Fedora, any particular version, install OK on one of these drives 
without doing anything special, the so-called 4K alignment, I've read about? 
A brief downloaded from the manufacture says yes but you have to use some 
particular command line switches with gparted. Is this already setup in the 
Anaconda installer during the disk partitioning step?

Also I hope this isn't a drive that has the same problem the Western Digital 
"Green" dives have with wear out due to frequent head loading and unloading 
issues.
