2TB low level format?

March 29th, 2010, 12:12

Erm...I was planing on preforming a low level format on my 2TB HDD.
I'v already started formating, using USB, but is there any difference between USB, FireWire and eSATA, on how long it will take formating a HDD, when using "Hard Disk Low Level Format Tool 2.36"?
Will it also improve the speed with a faster CPU?
:?

A low level format of a 2TB drive via USB will likely take a very long time. eSATA will definitely cut the time down, but that will still likely take 5 to 10 hours to complete.
