[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 695056, member: 82144"] Hi there I have also just recently bought 2 of the Samsung 2TB F4 drives. Don't trust Vista to format them correctly because it didn't work! I'm not sure if W7 would do the job, but it might pay to check before you get the drive full of data and find it performs poorly. I primarily use XP so I originally tried to download and use the Samsung align tool but it failed to recognise my drives! I ended up having to use gparted 7.1 to do the job... The other thing you want to do is upgrade the firmware. Have a look [URL="http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/faqView.do?b2b_bbs_msg_id=386"]here[/URL]... [/QUOTE]
