Creating image from 512 byte sector HD to Advanced Format USB HD. Any issues?
I am looking to purchase a new external HD for my system. My internal hard drives are based on the older 512 bytes per sector standard. The drive I will buy may have an advanced format 4k sector system. Will there be any problem with backing up and restoring Acronis True Image Home 2011 images between these hard drives (with different sector specifications) or should I look for an external that matches the 512 byte sector spec of my internal hard drives?

There are no problems using a 4K sectored drive with TIH 2011.
There have been some reports of 'strangeness' with the new hybrid drives, but that did refer to build 5519 and build 6576 is now out.
True Image doesn't understand exFAT formatted drives though.
I was just worried that creating an image from a 512 byte sector disk and storing that image on a 4k sector disk may cause a problem. But from what you stated doing this shouldn't be an issue. Thanks.
