Advanced format 4Kn sector device identification is incorrect about crystaldiskinfo

Test in 8.8.0 Alpha1, shows the correct capacity👍

Yes, it works

long time ago, I realized that this may be a Windows API problem. Under the native 4Kn format hard drive, the correct capacity should be eight times the displayed value

I am experiencing this same issue after changing from 512e to 4kn

I can't give you full info, as I have the drives raided, but I have provided what I can below :

However, these are 14TB WD Drives WD140EMFZ which I have reformatted from 512e to 4kn using the WD Hugo tool. I also did the same with the 12TB WD Gold drives I have WD121KRYZ which has the same issue in Diskinfo.

Hugo command used :
f -m --fastformat -b 4096

Thank you detail information. I will support 4Kn future release!!

CrystalDiskInfo 8.8.0 Alpha1 or later supports 4Kn. Please test it.
