Installation for Advanced Format Hard Drives?
Hello,
I recently got a new Western Digital Hard Drive (WD5000BPKT: Scorpio Black) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004LR1RPK/..._26725410_item for my laptop and on the wrapping it says to be aware of advanced formatting.
If I installed Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1 U (media refresh), do I need to install the software WD says to do to partition your HDD for optimal performance?
I am unsure how exactly the new advanced formatting technology works and what I have to do to get the most out of my HDD. I may not even be sure that the WD5000BPKT supports Advanced formatting.
Here is WD page about Advanced Format Utility: Product Features
Thanks
