Rotten Radish 4K alignment tool (U disk sector alignment)

This tool has the following functions:

1. One-click sector alignment for U disk devices, one-click completion is simple and easy to use;

2. Support clearing HDD/ZIP UD partitions currently produced on the market;

3. After the U disk is quickly partitioned by mistake, the U disk cannot be used. You can use this tool to restore the default partition;

The tool will reformat the USB flash drive, please remember to back up the data first. This tool is small, green and non-toxic.

First, let’s understand what “4K alignment” is. In fact, "4K alignment" is associated with a partitioning technology called "advanced formatting". "Advanced Format" is the name adopted by the International Hard Drive Equipment and Materials Association for a new data structure format. This is mainly because the current hard disk capacity continues to expand, making the previously defined 512 bytes per sector no longer so reasonable, so 512 bytes per sector is changed to 4096 bytes per sector, which means It is what is often called "4K sector" now.

In fact, the definition of 512 bytes per sector originated in the early days of computer development, so at that time dividing the hard drive capacity into blocks of 512 bytes was a balance between file management and storage. Nowadays, the capacity of mainstream hard disks has climbed to 1TB or even higher. Using old standards to manage today's ultra-large-capacity hard disks is not only cumbersome but also reduces efficiency. Therefore, it is imperative to increase the capacity of a single sector.
