Does sector size matter when using Raid auto detect?
Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2019 12:35 pm
I'm trying to recover a RAID array consisting of 6 x 15k 600gb SAS drives (model HP EH0600JDYTL). All drives are working perfectly, it was the server that died.
I created sector by sector clones of all 6 onto 1tb Toshiba and Samsung 2.5" drives using DDRescue in Linux.
I've since noticed that all the SATA drives I used have 4kb sector sizes, but from what I can tell the SAS drives have 512b sector size.
Will this be a problem for R-Studio's Raid auto detect? I have left it running for a long time and it has not picked up anything.
Thanks
