[Tech ARP] The Western Digital Advanced Format Performance Comparison Guide
Jul 2nd, 2010 | By newsAdvanced Format is mainly about expanding the capacity of hard disk drives. However, it does have some effect on performance. By packing in more data in less space, Advanced Format allows for higher areal density. So, we can expect higher sequential transfer rates from Advanced Format drives. The closer spatiality of the data blocks should also improve sequential seek times.
