Sector transition.
BigSectors was formed by industry leading storage companies to educate the industry as disk drives transition to designs using larger physical sector sizes containing multiples of 512-byte logical sectors of user data.
Disk drives with larger physical sectors allow enhanced data protection and correction algorithms, which provide increased data reliability. Larger physical sectors also enable greater format efficiencies, thereby freeing up space for additional user data. These improvements will result in better user experiences.
Our goal is to create awareness and educate our storage partners and customers about the benefits of disk drives designed with larger physical sectors. In addition, BigSectors is a place to share information that will enable this industry transition.
