How do I figure out if it's a 4k sector drive, I've read about that but never looked into it...is there any way to tell, and when you mean start my partition, I only have one large partition, since this is just for my data files....so you mean I should start on 2048 and go up from there??? Thanks in advance...going to do some more reading...<br>
<br><br>Here is the link to the samsung.... <a href="http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/productmodel.do?group=72&type=94&subtype=98&model_cd=507&tab=fea&ppmi=1219">http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/productmodel.do?group=72&type=94&subtype=98&model_cd=507&tab=fea&ppmi=1219</a><br>
<br>talks about 512B per sector....which would be 4096....unless they changed something...<br><br>So should I break it and change the partitions and if so do I do it on both of the disks so they are the same??? Thanks in advance...going to do some more reading...<br>

</div>Average queue size of 26.94 requests, average wait time of 85.45ms, service time of 2.8ms ain't bad, but means the sequential IO is randomizing and backing up the IO.<br>
<br>
Chances are this is probably a 4k sector drive and the partition's alignment crosses a 4k page causing double reads. Better to start partitions on sector 2048 instead of 63.<br>
<br>
Am I correct on these?<br>
<br>
If so I'd break the RAID re-partition and resilver it.<br>
