HDToolBox is known to miscalculate the values if you let it guess the
parameters automatically. I usually use ProbeSCSI, get the total number
of blocks, get the prime factors of that number and then build my own
tracks, heads and sectors counts. This way I can make sure there is as
little loss as possible and that the tracks are not too big, because you
lose the first two for the RDBs anyway.
