advanced format support

All AF drives are 512e; i.e., they lie and pretend to be non-AF drives when they are secretly really AF. That means that they should work with any OS, any BIOS, board, etc., provided that the OS/BIOS/etc. supports that capacity and that interface (which are unrelated to AF).

The only thing that you need to be on the lookout for is file system alignment. The only way in which the OS comes into play is that the OS happens to include a built-in file system partition creation tool, and if that tool creates a misaligned partition, then you get bad performance. Any tool that creates partitions (incl. those not bundled w/ the OS) can be "incompatible" if it defaults to a bad alignment. So there is no direct "OS compatibility"; it's all very tangential.
