- 12 Frequently asked questions
- 13 Why did HP choose to support emulation rather than drives with -KB native sector format While this was considered, the existing system infrastructure has been designed around a logical -byte sector notably the hard disk boot device. The resources needed to update the environment would have been vast for example, a BIOS update would be required for every system. Moreover, some operating systems do not support booting to -KB native drives. Older applications and games would not be able to run, while there would be no performance advantage for a customer. Thus, HP elected to not pursue this approach at this time

- 13 Why did HP choose to support emulation rather than drives with -KB native sector format While this was considered, the existing system infrastructure has been designed around a logical -byte sector notably the hard disk boot device. The resources needed to update the environment would have been vast for example, a BIOS update would be required for every system. Moreover, some operating systems do not support booting to -KB native drives. Older applications and games would not be able to run, while there would be no performance advantage for a customer. Thus, HP elected to not pursue this approach at this time
