It uses standard Windows SPTI API to do it.
I know Seagate drives with their FastFormat(tm) feature can be done in no time at all,whereas HGST drives have to actually physically format the whole drive block by block. HGST SAS HDD support blocksize-change fast-format too.
I was thinking of just 4K'ing a bunch of 512e HGST drives.
Anyone used this non-public application before? (I believe HGST (WD) give it to their customers such as Dell etc)
I found a link where all the tools can be downloaded > HDD Firmware Downloads. PC-3000 Support Downloads. Data recovery and HDD repair tools
