How to reformat drive sector size | 520b 524b 528b to 512b or 4k

In this video, I'm going to show you how to reformat drives with non-standard sector sizes like 520b, 524b, and 528b to 512b or 4k sectors so that they can be used with normal servers. HDDs and SSDs that are being retired from enterprise storage systems from the likes of EMC or NetApp often have the drives formatted with these non-standard sectors, effectively preventing them from being used in normal systems. However, once I show you how to reformat them to standard sector sizes, you'll be able to use these drives again!
