My impression is that my discs do have 512 byte sectors. At least the SCSI 
documentation says they can be formatted with 512, 520 or 528 byte sectors.

Even if they did, in fact, have 4k sectors, everything would be aligned in my 
set-up, wouldn't it?

Oops?
I thought that anything to a file system would be written in units of the 
file system's block size as the metadata cache was addressed in file system 
blocks. Can someone please enlighten me?
