I've never done this before, but I'm picking up a pair of Western Digital 640GB (the AALS version) and I'm going to at least try it to see what happens. I know that Hitachi makes a tool for short stroking their hard drives, but I don't know about Western Digital.
Short-stroking just seems like a fancy way of saying 'partitioning', but I didn't know if you can limit partions to certain areas of the disk itself. Any ideas here?
