Well, despite the Advanced Format sticker you have a drive formatted with 512-byte logical and physical blocks. The LBA count is 2930277168 which is the correct number for a 1.5TB drive (in accordance with the IDEMA LBA spec). So "cut down" isn't the term I'd use. I'd say you have a drive with the right capacity which doesn't suffer from any alignment and read-modify-write cycle issues. That's a good thing in my book. Enjoy! -- Martin K.
