Solution to The physical disk's sector size is not supported by the storage pool (0x80E70004)

Sometimes, people get error when adding disks to storage space:

The physical disk's sector size is not supported by the storage pool.
(0x80E70004)

This is usually happens when the disk had a 512B partition before it was inserted and detected by Windows. Windows will cache the result and treat the disk’s sector size as 512B. The solution is simple:

  1. Delete all partitions on the disk.
  2. Reboot.
  3. Re-add the disk to storage pool, it should work now.
