I believe the Samsung F4 emulates 512byte sectors so it appears that way to the OS even though it's Advanced format behind the scenes.
Tis true.

I just ordered 5 of the Samsung HD204UI drives to add to my WHS v1 norco box, are these pretty much plug and play? I'm using 2x AOC-SAT2-MV8's for controllers.
Great information. Thanks!I am at 23.6gb fully patched with a 4gb pagefile on the OS drive and a bunch of apps installed (chrome, hamachi, logmein, notepad++, netlimiter, orb, cpuid hwmonitor, hd tune, air video, sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato, shark007 codecs, windows resource kit, videolan).
Suffice to say I'm pretty sure you could get away with a 20gb system partition, especially if you don't install a lot of apps and move the pagefile over to another drive.
Just to add to cre3d's experience, I had no difficulty installing WHS 2011 directly to an Intel 40GB SSD yesterday. I used the following cfg.ini:Yea that may be all the space you need.
Too bad windows won't install on that though

Sorry for the late reply, I was on vacation the last couple of weeks.It shows there is 937GB used, but I don't see anything. Reasonable to expect it's toast and I need to order a new drive?
You're doing it wrong, Zycler. Right MMC Plugin, only wrong mouse pointer placement.Do you have any idea ?
Thanks for the input.@ _Miguel_
Get a Hitachi drive. They aren't 4k drives.
4k drive aren't working well for data and certainly aren't working well for the OS.
If you have a spare PC, test out WHS 2011 and those 3rd party DE implementations on that. If any of your data is remotely valuable to you, then I highly highly recommend testing, testing, and more testing of those DE implementations to make sure that there are no surprise gotchas or issues.Right now I'm debating on moving on to WHS 2011 and taking my chances with one of those 3rd-party "DE-like" implementations (which are still non-RTM), or keeping WHS v1. DE is one of the main reasons I use WHS, so what do you guys think?
That Hitachi drive should work fine. Though if you haven't bought that SSD or can return it, I do no recommend getting the Vertex 2 at all unless it was on sale for $1 a gig or less. This subforum is filled with people who have had issues with the Vertex 2 line. Then there's the fact that its real world performance was significantly lower than the stated specs or other comparable SSDs to begin with. Then OCZ lowered the performance of the Vertex 2 even further when they switched NANDs. So what you are going to have a is a relatively slow and unreliable SSD. If you can find it, I recommend getting the Intel 320 or 510 series SSD or Crucial's C300 or m4 series SSDs.I do have problems with the controller and boot drive, though. As for the boot drive, I was considering the (if I remember correctly) 2.5'', 7.2K, 500GB Hitachi boot drive from my HP TM2 tablet (getting a 60GB Vertex2 to replace it... hehe). I'm guessing it should work fine (though slower than my current 1TB F1), right?
Ah, WHSv1 it is, then. x64, prettier interface, Homegroup integration and 2TB+/AFS support is not worth the trouble for me... Or time spent (which is WAAAAY too much already... lol) Thanks for the heads-up.If any of your data is remotely valuable to you
Cool. Reusing is sweet, especially since the drive is about one year old only.That Hitachi drive should work fine.
I have been reading on the v2 V2s, thanks. Still, unless it's THAT bad, it would still be better than the HDD, right?Though if you haven't bought that SSD or can return it, I do no recommend getting the Vertex 2 at all unless it was on sale for $1 a gig or less.
