Sector size is a function of read/write head size. Block size can affect read/write speeds. In other words, it's faster to read ten 10 byte blocks than it is to read one hundred 1 byte blocks.

@mateiberatco500

Head size has nothing to do with sector size. Heads fly over 1 bit at a time (it's size is related to bit density only). The higher-level electronics (microcontroller) divide those bits into logical sector sizes. For each "sector", it also has to store headers (which are factory written, mentioned in video) and ECC data (error checking and correction); which all take space. Raising sector size from 512 to 4K means eliminating ECC and headers of 3 sectors, while slightly increasing ECC data for the 4th. But creates compatibility problems (mainly slowing down) with partitioning of old SW (up to, including, XP). PS: those 3.5" 1.44MB (1440MB) floppies were also advertised as 2MB unformatted. Wikipedia mentions formatted size for Amiga as 1.760KB.

A trim command (known as TRIM in the ATA command set, and UNMAP in the SCSI command set) allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally. Trim was introduced soon after SSDs were introduced.

Not sure about everyone else but I really appreciate the extra details you provide in your videos. Thanks for not "dumbing it down" too much!

Yes, I've been using IBM PC's since the 80's, at that time the original hard drive controllers actually sat in a plug-in card attached to the original ISA bus (great-grandfather of all of the current generation of PCI buses). The control logic sat outside the hard drives themselves on this plug-in card. Now back then there used to be two different types of hard drive formats available, MFM & RLL, and so you had to get the appropriate type of controller card for the type of HDD you were getting. The low-level formatter was a piece of code within the controller card that you could execute by using a special program in DOS that initiated that portion of the controller's logic. That all went away once the IDE HDD's came, the controller logic all lay inside the HDD's themselves, and the smart "controller cards" actually just became simpler dumb interface cards. Low-level formatting also became inaccessible by that point, as the LLF was done at the factory, and never needed refreshing.

Before Vista a "full" format was just a deep scan over the drive for bad sectors & not actually writing zeros. Starting with Vista a full format does do the zero write.

back in the day there use to be format without erase command..this would read a sector then format that sector the re-write the data back into that sector..this took hours to do but was helpful in recovering drives that were starting to have issues

I had almost forgotten about low-level formatting. Seems that it took forever to low-level format my 30MB hard disk. I had the option to upgrade my Compaq 286 to the 30MB and all my friends thought I was nuts for paying extra for such a huge drive. "You will never be able to use 30MB on a home computer even 30 or 40 years from now."

Wow lol. I remember when I had the MASSIVE 40MB Hard Drive installed in a Tandy 1000. Crazy to think that only about 25 1.44 MB Floppy disks would fill the entire drive. Yet that was considered more than enough space at the time.

This is a pretty good piece, I was already familiar with a lot of the stuff in isolation but you did a nice job putting it all together into an easily understandable package.

This man's explanations are all over the place. Reminds me of how a child would explain things. No structure, no pacing or pauses, and lots of 'I'm not going to get into that'.

LL formatting was back in the day when a 10 megabyte drive was _something..._ back when most personal computers ran on floppys or tape and the user was the device driver for everything.

Informative video. Your videos are suitable for computer class lectures. If a teacher is watching them. Can definitely play or recommend to the students. SmartTJ 😎

The way I recall "Low level formatting" was in the pre ATA interface days. The PC (usually DOS based Disk File System) actually completely controlled the hard disk. This also only allowed for logical drives of 32MB (yes MB). The Hard Disk Controller was plugged into an expansion slot on your computer and then you would use the dos debug tool to access a certain memory address to invoke the setup tools to partition and low level format your drives then allocate them as logical drives. I dont recall ever having to re low level format a drive on a PC XT or AT you merely set up the drive tracks, sectors and partitions once. Then you could return to DOS and format the drives. The ATA drives introduced the actual hardware control to the drives themselves and a simplified interface for the computers. So while you may use the DOS/Windows format command afterwards what physically happened on the disk was out of the computers hands as the ATA on drive controller actually took control and allowed for automatic management of bad sectors by swappibg bad sectors with a reserve of alternative sectors.

Thanks a lot for the knowledge you have been impacting into us.😌

Thank you for the video - excellent details! Just wondering, I am reformatting a external Hard Drive from NTFS (default allocation unit size = 4kb) to exFat (allocation unit size = 128Kb). Is it better to do a full format (last time 10-14 hrs) or is it okay to do a quick format? By chance, would you know if the minimum allocation unit size which can be read/write by Mac and by PC (Win) is 128Kb ? Or is it 64Kb? Or lower? I'd appreciate your great advice!

What a great explanation!

Sweet, great video! Thanks!

Hi ThioJoe, I have a question regarding flash drive data errors. I use Samsung BAR Plus USB3.1 64GB drives to record HDTV video. After working fine for over a year, I started to get fast video pixelation errors repeating once ever 10-20 seconds, the audio was undisturbed. I quick formatted the drive NTFS 64KB block size on a Windows 7 PC then ran Check Disc and everything was fine however I was still getting errors when recording. I checked the drive on my Linux PC using DISKS, the drive reported fine. Finally, on a whim, I tried DISKS File System Repair function, it very quickly reported fixed, my recordings are now error free. Do you have any idea what was wrong with the drive?

That was some knowledge in this video!💯

Question. I work with large fine art scan image files. TIFFs that can go from 500 to nearly a terabyte in size (Scans of a 48 x 60 inch painting at 300 DPI get big!) What byte size would you recommend a drive be formatted in to most easily accommodate storing and editing such files?

Back in the day, low-level formatting wasn't just an "apparently you could" thing. It was a "you must do this first" thing. My memory is fading a bit, but in MS-DOS, you had to run the DEBUG command (built-in to the OS) to access a piece of microcode to do the low-level format. The code was likely on the controller. Once running, you would put in the drive geometry which was printing on the drive from the factory. It said how many heads, cylinders, sectors, etc. there were on the drive. In addition to that, the drive often came with a defect map you had to key into the low-level formatting utility to remove those parts of the drive from visibility from the operating system. Isn't that something, a drive coming from the factory with known defects you had to work around. I don't miss those days. Once IDE drives came around, the controller was on the drive itself and the computer had a "host bus adapter" to be able to connect to them. I remember back in the day wondering why I'd want all these things integrated on the motherboard. What if one component fails? I'd need to replace the whole board! That's expensive and inconvenient! Now, it's not a big deal. The reliability of components is really good at this point with all the mistakes being made decades ago and manufacturers learning from them. With the advent of IDE drives, Zone Bit Recording became a thing so your drive geometry changed from a physical feature to a logical one. When the operating system asks for some data on this (cylinder, head, sector), the drive knows where it actually is and reports it back. Most spinning drives today have only one physical platter with one or two heads. Not like back in the day when it was common to have a drive with many platters and two heads each. My first hard drive was a MFM, 5.25", full-height (3") drive holding 30MB. I would next upgrade to a RLL, 3.25", half-height (1.5") drive holding 40MB which just happened to be a slower drive than the first one.

I learn a lot from U TJ So I just wanted to thank U ! and keep up the good vid's !

Now show us how to Unformat a Quick format! Keep up the good work ThioJoe. I am a long time fan!

thanks for the lesson!

Interesting thing: floppies and hard drives also have a sort of translation layer. It’s called sector skew. Sectors are not laid out in numeric order but so that, ideally, the next sector to be read is directly under the head when the previous action is done. This is set during low level formatting.
