    Formatting a 3TB MyBook to 512 Cluster Size?

    Windows 7 backup won't work with a 4k drive. People say to use the WD Quick Format Utility and Select 'Factory Reset/Default', However this option is not available when I do that. Same problem as this guy: https://community.wd.com/t/wd-quick-formatter-not-allowing-4k-to-512-sector-format/5479

    Some video stutters in panning scenes

    Is this a codec issue or a hardware issue? Only happens in some videos. This is on an older PC: i5 760 + AMD 5770 Still wouldn't expect this hardware to stutter in a panning scene. So maybe it is a codec?
