It does NOT only write zero's to the Disk but it test the sectors and
then auto-remap faulty sectors and after the test, it will write into
the NVRAM of the Disk some informations that the Low-Level formated
drive looks like a NEWLY bougth drive without any errors (if enough
free sectors are found for remaping)
