Alright, so this thread is solely going to be releated to work and tests regarding 4K-Sector support in BDM and hence apps which are using it.

USB might actually already work with Storage-devices bigger than 2TiB/2.2TB!

Internal HDD not yet, but it is "on the list".


So... Who wants to test storage-devices bigger than 2TiB with OPL (and maybe other apps like wLE later on)?


Test-subjects:
  • USB
  • Firewire
  • Internal HDD, once 4K-Sector support has been added

And now YouTubers will be saying everywhere OPL will support 4K video output due to the title of this thread...
Maybe try 4096 instead and avoid people getting confused?
 
No........ It specifically says "4K-Sector"... If someone confuses that with video modes, he will only show his utter stupidity...

Exactly, like most YouTubers who says you can increase a 8MB MC's size by using MCA.
But, when a "not so noobie" user watches a video of a stupid YTber saying nonsense, he assumes there could be some sense in that nonsense:

MasterJope is somehow over the average common user, and still, he felt for it. He tried to find some sense in it, like having hidden memory blocks or stuff alike.
But then, once I explained to him that it is not the case, he said:

So, better avoid causing confusion in users that will NOT read the thread, but instead watch a YT video made by a dummy.
And you know they will not go to the official release thread afterwards and instead go to the download page directly.

Dude... 4K-Sector... HDD size...
Sorry, but that is far from any "UHD" topic.

I can add the 4096Byte to the title though...
 
With 4k-Sector-support, we could probably use up to 16TB-HDDs with 32Bit-addressing already and with LBA64-addressing 8 times of the 144PetaBytes... lol
