I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for an enclosure that supports 4k sectors or advanced formatting. I have a 5tb Seagate hard drive that I removed from a Seagate expansion enclosure after the enclosure started acting up after only 35 power-on hours. I took this hard drive and installed it in my system and archived a pile of data on it with the intention of removing the drive and putting it in a new enclosure.
The first USB 3.0 enclosure I tried was a Sabrent DS-UBLK, which apparently did not support 4k sectors as it wanted me to reformat the hard drive when I connected it. I tried an old Vantec Nexstar CX USB 2.0 enclosure and it worked great, but it would be nice to have USB 3.0 speeds instead.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
