Morning!

I visited my location yesterday. It was pleasant seeing some of the inmates and the warders.

To do a ‘full’ format on a 2 terabyte hard disk drive in Windows, it will take a long time. In the computer, permanently (or temporarily) connected to a SATA cable, budget 5-7 hours. Over a USB 2.0 connection, my drive took about 26 hours. It takes so long because the computer is looking at every. single. sector. and thinking about them all. This requires time, and no two ways about it.
/cries in wait time due to slow HDD.

EDIT:
This started at 9am, it's been 5 hours:
