September 18, 201213 yr I haven't added a new drive to my unRAID array in over a year and am just about to add several. Remembering something about Advanced Format drives when I built the system I couldn't find much about them any more. Not sure if the drives I bought supported AF I did find a nice util from Dell that will tell you. http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6220?driverId=NXCXK&fileid=2993467201
September 18, 201213 yr I don't know about advanced format but I believe all you need to do is pre clear using the pre clear script for the drive and then add to array and hit the format button, job done.
September 18, 201213 yr Why care that much? Just set the system to 4k-aligned and DO NOT jumper any WD drives.
