聽 I recently got a second wd Blue hard drive (1 tb) and tried to set up raid 0 (striping) but i keep getting an error that says "all disks holding extents for a given volume must have the same sector size, and the sector size must be valid" Had a really old hard drive and was able to set up raid 0 with one drive but not the other drive, i really dont want to return the drive but i cant figure out the problem and i dont know where to start i think that the sector size might be different (my best guess) if so is there any way to fix that???? I NEED HELP!!!!!!

As the error says you will need to check they both have the same sector size (16.32.64,128,256,512...4096) it could be any of thoose. The best way to solve this would be to format both drives from within Windows via This Computer > right click the drive > Format.聽

I tried formatting the drives and it still didn't work, am i doomed? I tried once where i formatted them and left allocation size at default and one where i manually set it to 64k on both
