Quick Format Vs Normal Format

You can format a partition or drive in two types:
1.  Quick Format
2.  Default or full format

When you first time format the partition, it is recommended to use default method (full format). This is slow and low-level formatting but this removes all data from the partition as well as the partition is scanned for bad sectors and fixed.

If you select the quick format method, you can save time but you can remove only data from the partition which does not scan the partition for bad sectors.

If you sure about your hard disk health then quick format should be enough.
