тут появилась сенсационная новость, если это правда, то это просто поразительно, как долго 1,5 года дурачили народ. Если кто листанёт пару стр назад, http://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=84&topic=0388&start=1280 то увидет мой пост о медленной работе новых 2ТБ, мне и в голову не могло прийти, что кто-то мог делать это умышленно, ведь до сих пор на рынке есть только один диск Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive с официальным "4096 byte physical sectors" сектором.
Other Thoughts: For those complaining about incompatibility, slow speeds, or other issues with drives that end in EARS: This is an 'Advanced Format' drive, which uses 4kB sectors instead of the normal 512B sectors older drives use. This results in better space efficiency. However Windows XP (and apparently TiVo) doesn't work well with the new block size. It can be switched back using a jumper, or you can use a program to realign it. More information can be found by checking Wikipedia article on "Advanced Format" and viewing external links.
Unfortunately Newegg doesn't explain this in the product description. Hopefully this review will help.
Отсюда вопрос куда же смотрели все енти про журналы, что не заметили такого слона?

Customer Reviews of the SAMSUNG HD204UI
Cons: As with all these big new drives, it has 4096 byte physical sectors that are fake reported by the drive as 512 byte sectors for compatibility with older versions of windows. Default settings in partitioning tools may misalign and reduce performance.
Other Thoughts: Use parted or fdisk to manually start each partition at a LBA sector that is a multiple of 4 (i.e. at the beginning of a physical sector). As far as I can tell, none of the current graphical partitioning tools give you this level of control; you have to use the text mode programs.
