This is a 4K (advanced format) drive, correct?

Advanced Format is a generic term pertaining to any disk sector format used to store data on magnetic disks in hard disk drives (HDDs) that exceeds 512 to 528 bytes per sector,[2] such as the 4096-byte (4 KB) sectors of the first-generation Advanced Format hard disk drives. Larger sectors use the storage surface area more efficiently for large files but less efficiently for smaller files, and enable the integration of stronger error correction algorithms to maintain data integrity at higher storage densities

I have no idea other than to say it likely is. Check the specs on your existing drive, and if they're similar, I'd get it. It's a very good, fast and seemingly reliable drive. Easy to install. Do not buy the WD!

It should be, although I seem to remember it as formatted NTFS to start with. If your build supports standard SATA interface, you should not have any problems. It has been a very reliable drive for my Windows system. The only caveat is that an SSD does require periodic "garbage collection" by the operating system. You might want to check if your intended OS will support this. This would apply to any SSD that you may be considering.

I don't know. My problem with the drive was the format function would fail to ever complete.

Yes it is! Exactly what I bought it for, my new laptop doesn't have a drive. This is a good drive.

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

It shows up as two physical drives 0 and 1 at 1 TB ea, further partitioned into 500 GB ea C-D-E-F. Haven't pulled it apart to see if in fact they are separate drives. 100% screaming machine but the drives are probably 75% screaming.

Dear Jose, These G-Drives come in 5400 and 7200rpm versions... read carefully! Luke

100% compatible. Lol, but seriously it's still a decent drive. You won't notice any difference compared to a newer 64mb 7200 rpm drive. Just don't buy it used.

The unit I receive was a re-fab with a 5400 rpm western digital hdd. I hope that helps.

Yes, that is what we have ours connected to. You may have to reformat the drive by using disk utilities.

According to the specs of the system you listed, it appears so. Your system seems to support anything from 250GB to 2 TB (which is in range of 1TB). It looks like you're getting a heck of a deal for this hard drive as well! Well done :)

You should be able to. I was able to reformat it to ext4 for a Linux data drive with no problems.

yes. I put a 11gb MKV of a bluray rip. Played fine. The MKV was on a thumbdrive which was formatted NTFS

There's also a photo of the adapter label that displays all of the information on it, Sirik. It's on the initial product page, with the other product photos. I was about to upload one myself, then I saw that a photo is already there... Good luck! It's a very reliable drive with great features!

It depends on the device you have. What device are you using with this drive?
