Advanced Format Drives Support in Acronis Products

Thread needs solution

Hallo,

Acronis creates an entry in their knowledge base at http://kb.acronis.com/content/16200, which claims "Acronis products support Advanced Format disks", but only True Image Home 2011 supports my advanced formated Seagate FA GoFlex Desk USB Drive. Disk Director 11 Home and Disk Director 11 Advanced Workstation and also Acronis Backup & Recovery 11 Advanced Workstation could not handle my Seagate USB 2.0 drives ("sectorsize 4096 not supported" is the log entry). Has anybody same experiences with new advanced format drives?

Unter http://kb.acronis.com/content/20297# ist eine Erklärung zu finden. Aber weshalb es unterschiedliche Interpretationen von advanced format gibt, steht da auch nicht.

May be Acronis does only support Advanced Format 512e (emulation drives) and not fully 4096 byte sectors.
