In a bit of a quandary.

Bought Touro 2TB usb3.

main workstation still old XP warhorse (with loads of hot swapping HDD's) so 32bit and USB2.

drive seems fine, fast too.

This suggests that alignment is not an issue, or I ma sure I would have noticed any performance issue.

However Hitachi site says Alignment tool needed. I doubt it.

drive inside case is 7k3000 so it should be 512byte sectors not new ADF 4k, hence I should have no need to align.


Right?
