Do I need to do anything special to format a 4k sector hard drive properly?
If I just use Disk Management in Windows 7 and do a simple format will that align the partition correctly for a 4k drive? I have the latest Intel RST (iaStor) drivers installed for my motherboard (P8P67 Pro).
So do I need to get a special program or does Windows 7 disk management do the job?
Also, what if the drives are in a RAID array using the motherboard's onboard controller? Do you have to do anything different when you format the whole RAID array?
