The paired is only if you want to recover the original contents of the drive.
If you are going to low level format they are reasonable interchangeable.
Some systems only can format disks to certain known sizes but larger
disks may be useable at reduced capacity. Some systems the low level format
programs aren't available.  Other systems only want to work with specific 
drives.
