Hi,
WD MyBook with 3tera disk has been purchased in november 2015.
I think it is formatted as usual by WD with MBR and
advanced format (512e) with some electronics to bridge
sector 512 bytes and 4 kbytes.
I want to be absolutely sure that I could pull out and
insert the disk directly on SATA port of a computer
with BIOS (not UEFI !) and SATA controller
enough capable of managing such a disk.
To achieve this is sufficient reformatting GPT with
512 bytes or 4kbytes per sector ?
