Choosing the right hard drive type depends on the usage pattern. Improper use of entry-level hard drives (including workloads exceeding 550 TB/year) leads to significant risk and increases the failure rate of the drives. Due to industry advances, in some cases, the larger capacity drives have been changed to a larger sector size. The larger sector size can have impacts on operating systems and applications. For more information about these hard drives, see the 512e and 4Kn Disk Formats white paper and 4K Sector HDD FAQ document at Dell.com/poweredgemanuals. When you format a hard drive, allow enough time for the formatting to be complete. Be aware that high-capacity hard drives can take a long time to format.
