always knew WD was a great drive maker now I have another reason to love these drives. Hope this works with drives they released this year.

oh well, I can't complain about HD space anyway. I have 2 USB HDD's and don't use the full space anyway but when I get around to building a desktop I will be looking at WD drives first.

more..Western Digital says it has developed a technique that provides more usable space out of a given hard drive capacity. Known as Advanced Format, it reduces the amount of overhead for each data sector by pooling together information.
