1. Can empty your disk space

two。 If there is a virus, it can also be cleared together.

3. Often formatting the hard disk or partition will affect the life of the hard disk.

Generally speaking, the newly purchased disks are white disks, with no partition, no data, and can not be used directly.

To put it simply, formatting is to divide a blank disk into small areas and number them for the computer to store and read data. Without this job, the computer would not know where to write and where to read.

The hard disk must be partitioned before it can be used. after the disk has been partitioned, the next step is to FORMAT the hard disk, which must be formatted before it can be used. Formatting is when tracks and sectors are established in the disk, and only after the tracks and sectors are established can the computer use the disk to store data. In both Windows and DOS operating systems, there are programs to format Format, but once you do the work of formatting the hard disk, the data in the hard disk will be emptied. So before you do this, make sure that the data on the disk is still needed, and if so, back it up.

Advanced formatting is to clear the data on the hard disk, generate boot area information, initialize the FAT table, mark logical bad paths, and so on.

Low-level format is to divide the blank disk into cylinder and track, and then divide the track into several sectors, and each sector is divided into identification part ID, interval GAP and data area DATA and so on.

It can be seen that low-level formatting is a task before high-level formatting, and it can only be done in the DOS environment. And low-level formatting can only be used for one hard disk and cannot support a single partition. When each hard disk is shipped from the factory, it has been low-level formatted by the hard disk manufacturer, so users usually no longer need to carry out low-level formatting operations.
