|
|
I have a pair of Quantum VK4550J drives which need to be reformatted. I am having trouble finding the proper settings (heads, cylinders, sectors/track) for this drive.
I have found the spec sheet on Maxtor's site since they bought out Quantum's drive division. Unfortunately, they do not list the cylinders or a single value for sectors/track (they give a range which presumably indicates the inside tracks contain less sectors than the outside; makes sense but doesn't help when I need to punch in a single value).
Would anyone using this drive care to share their settings?

Normally, when I've been creating disklabels for non-sun drives, I just accept the defaults for the values I don't have. It doesn't seem to cause any problems here, so you may be safe going that route. |
