    Does Windows 11 Storage Spaces support 512e disks native 4K size, emulated 512 byte size?Context: Windows 11 22H2+Insider Preview. Two Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM006 2TB drives that report 512 byte sector emulation on 4K native sectors.Both drives are empty, in the "unformatted" list in the Storage Spaces Manager.I take the option to create a pool, select the two drives, and click the "Create pool" button. After a second or so, it comes back and says that it can't create the pool, "Check the drive connections and then try again." The drives are clearly connected correctly, since I've been

    Advanced format 512e 4kn

    All disks sold for consumer applications are 512e. The OS "sees" 512-byte sectors but the disk is 4k. The emulation is totally transparent, don´t worry about it. Initialize the disk as GPT.

    Windows Restore to a Seagate 2TB BarraCuda HD not working

    It is not clear to me what MS means by this:

    Support policy for 4K sector hard drives - Windows Server


    Yet further down the page, it says:


    If , as they appear to claim, windows Backup ( in win 8) works with native 4k. Presumably, windows backup ( in win 10 ) should also work with native 4k.

    Does Windows 11 Storage Spaces support 512e disks native 4K size, emulated 512 byte size?

    HGST 4kn support on Windows 10 with Z97 and Asmedia?

    Versions of Intel RST before version 9.6 are known to have problems with HDDs with 4K sectors. You should just uninstall Intel Rapid Storage Technology to see if that resolves your problem.
