Talk:Physical formatting
The information provided is dismal please at least provide more technical detail on low level formating and why it iss done, etc. I found these articles informative: [1] [2]
- I completely agree that this page should be merged into Disk Formatting, if not simply deleted. The disk formatting page all ready has more detailed (and factually accurate) information on it than this page; this page and the Logical Formatting page both have nothing to add. I propose these two pages are changed into redirects to the Disk Formatting page. Should I just do it myself? --Destructionator 00:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
This article is total bull. You *can not* low level format any drive younger than 20 years, i.e. IDE or SCSI drives. These drives have integrated controllers and their physical parameters are fixed. Low level formatting was only possible with MFM/RLL drives, where the controller was a card separate from the hard drive.
The cited sources seem to base their information on hearsay and "old tradition". Please research for yourself before posting a misleading article like this.
