I recently built my own SandyBridge Custom Mac.
Everything works beautifully! The only issue is, I was not able to use the 500GB Segate Hard Drive that I purchased because it was a 4K Sector drive and would not work with any bootloader.
So I downgraded to my old Western Digital 80GB drive just so I can get everything up and running.
I would like to purchase a 1TB Hard Drive to use as my main drive, but I do not want to make the same mistake as last time and get a drive with 4K sectors instead of 512Bytes.
Does anyone know how to tell the difference between the 2 when buying?
If possible could you post me some links to some 1TB drives with 512byte Sectors so I know for a fact I'm getting the drive that I need?
Thanks in advanced!
