The ATA standard specifies how you are supposed to deal with this: the old sector size field can still report 512 bytes for backward compatability, and a new size field specifies the true hardware sector size. The Linux tools have had support for years now to read the new field and properly align partitions to this size. When will WD start following the standard?
