Does the ST6000NE0023 have 512e or 4Kn sector size? How is this different than ST6000NE0021? Seagate lists the same specs for both, so what's different between the two model numbers?

Question

Accepted Answer

The only difference I can see is as follows:  The NE0021 has 2018 Kb/in max recording density, vs the NE0023 with 1894.  Also, he NE0021 has 369 ktracks/in avg, vs the NE0023 with 370.  Basically, the difference between the drives is a little different densities on the disks resulting in the same overall total capacity, As you say they both have  512 bytes per logical sector, and 4096 bytes per physical sector.  Hope this helps.
