what the fuck is a linux only hard drive
>>109507911It's not officially certified by Microsoft as being windows compatible?
>>109507911its one that prints ethnic/homophobic slurs instead of loading windows
>>109507932>Proprietary Custom ModelI get why Win might hate it, not sure why the BIOS wouldn't be able to pick it up, esp if it is still SATA
>>109508003pr00mpting guesses it has some goofy sector formatting / power mgmt that requires OS firmware to properly use
>>1095079114kn -> 4k native drive instead of the "normal" 512 byte sectors, most modern drivers are 4k, but they emulate 512 byte for compatibility"Newer" Windows (8,10,1) should work fine:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/backup-and-storage/support-policy-4k-sector-hard-drives

>>109507911Simply saying "Linux" means nothing. Just say what the filesystem is! Ext2 is not a Linux-only filesystem either.
>>109507911This likely is one of the 12V pin drives so they put "linux only" to filter out retards that would hook it up to a normal power supply and then cry that it doesn't work. See also them pointing out that it doesn't work with hardware controllers and testing it on HP and Dell workstations and servers almost all of which come with at least one or two 12V HDD power cables.
>>109507911Maybe has only been used with Linux.
