I knew you could reformat NVMe drives to have 4096 byte instead of 512 byte logical sectors, but didn't know there was a standard command to also do that for non-NVMe drives. I might try that next time I get a new non-NVMe SSD.


Mind you that not all drives support this.

The Samsung 980 Pro does not.

It's kind a hard to find, as it's not something that is published.

Apart from your normal requirements, I want 4K sectors and eDrive (the BitLocker kind).
