I have a few WD20EARS drives that I was using (jumpered) in my old WHSv1 box. When I upgraded to WHS2011 I removed the jumpers since 4k formatted drives were now supported. I’ve initialized them GPT and make sure they are 4k formatted. They work fine and perform as expected, but StableBit Scanner does not report them as “advanced format” drives. Is this an error or are these drives not really 4k drives?
