Re: Debian support on newer 4K Advanced format drives (rather than 512 bytes)
I have a WD20EARS here. As these drives still report their sector size
to be 512B instead of 4KB (for compatibility purposes, apparently), you
have to manually align the partition when creating it. (otherwise you'll
get very slow performance, ~3.5 MB/s instead of the ~90MB/s this drive
can do)
You might want to look at this :
