Hi All
Had a WD Caviar Green 1.5TB crap out in 7 months, losing most of the data in the process (no SMART warnings).
Replaced under RMA and have been shipped a recertified (aargh!) WD20EADS (WD Caviar Green 2TB).
Now as per WD's site WD20EARS is Advanced Format while WD20EADS is not, but the sticker on this baby clearly says it's an Advanced Format drive and talks about using WD Align/ jumpers etc if one is using XP.
So how can I confirm if this ruddy thing is really Advanced Format or not?
Thanks!
