Standard and quick HD formats.

The standard format takes a long time, not too surprising since disks are so big these days, but the quick is very quick. Can anyone tell us what is going on?


I wondered if the long format was doing what we used to call a Low Level format...actually writing to the disk, re-mapping if you will, a contiguous surface. If not, just what could take so long?
