剛才到HGST網站下載東西時，發現多了一個Hitachi Align Tool (還未開放下載)。
看了一下似乎跟wd align差不多？
不曉得Hitachi是不是要出先進格式化硬碟了？

Hitachi Align Tool
Most modern operating systems have been designed to work efficiently with Advanced Format drives. For optimum performance, it is important to ensure that the drive is partitioned correctly and that data is written in 4K blocks by both the operating system, and the application. Modern operating systems handle this automatically. When using Advanced Format drives in legacy environments, special tools may be required to optimize read/write performance and keep the data sectors aligned. Users who have created a misaligned partition may download the Windows utility below to correct this condition by re-aligning the partition.

For more information about Advanced Format Drives, please read the Advanced Format Technology Brief

For best performance, it is recommended that the hard drive be partitioned correctly upon first use, by using either a modern operating system or Advanced Format-aware partitioning software. Several third-party software options are listed on the last page of the Advanced Format Technology Brief.
