David I believe you can still format these drives normally (512K). I don't have any but recall reading about advance format. WD drives have/had a jumper to enable it as well. But if you are using XP, older Mac or *nix it is not supported natively.
Since media files are usually large files there is a potential for reduced overhead. But I admit I don't know all the details .... yet.
It sounds complicated for an average Joe.
