    I think others will soon follow.
    This can be a challenge for data recovery tools, as well as Linux and PVRs.

    My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

    Overdue!! The need is 15 years ago already and missed for long time. What we really need is 64K sector, 256K sector even 1M sector.

      So this doesn't reduce the number of LBA's by 4X, just reduces the number of inter sector gaps and ECC per sector? Huh, given how many drives suffer from ECC issues that i've seen, i don't know if reducing the ECC bits and grouping them all together is going to help or not..
