how long does a low level format of a large hdd take?
Hence low level formatting. I'm using HDD Low level format tool version 4.4 for formatting. The problem that I'm facing is that it is doing the format at an awfully slow pace. With the current speed that I'm getting, it is going to take close to 290 days (Yes 'Days'. Just did a quick calculation) which, at least in my opinion, is insane.
