Title: DNS-323 with WD15aers (format 4K sectors)...
Post by: slabtgm on February 01, 2010, 09:34:11 AM

DNS-323 can it work with the new 4K sectors of this hard disk instead of the 512 byte sectors?

The only way to know for sure is try it.  The new sector size is supposed to be handled by emulation at the interface, but I'm not sure how good the emulation is. :)

Did you find out if the DNS-323 can make use of the 4k sectors?  I just got a couple of the WD green drives and wonder the the NAS will make use of the 4k sectors, or it I just enable the jumper which is supposed to help OSes like XP.

I'd be very surprised if the DNS-323 does the 4K native sectors, I'd enable the emulation.
