Advanced Format Technology and 512E Format are technologies used to improve the performance and reliability of hard drives.
Advanced Format Technology is a method of formatting hard drives that increases the physical sector size of the drive from 512 bytes to 4,096 bytes (4K). This change in sector size results in a more efficient and reliable storage of data, and helps to reduce the amount of disk space wasted due to disk alignment.
The 400-AVCB Dell 2.4TB 10K RPM SAS-12GBPS 512E 256MB SFF Hard Disk Drive uses the 512E format, which is an advanced format that uses 4,096 byte sectors internally, but still presents itself to the host as having 512 byte sectors. This allows for better performance and improved reliability in the drive, while also ensuring backward compatibility with legacy systems that only support 512 byte sectors.
This technology helps to increase the accuracy of the data stored on the drive, and can also help to reduce the likelihood of data errors. Additionally, it allows for more efficient storage of data on the drive, which can help to improve performance and increase the drive's overall capacity.
