I think the term "Advanced Format" crap is a bit harsh.
The reality is that for drives > 2TB it is simply inevitable that bigger
sectors will be required.
Most sane operating systems use cluster sizes of 4k or larger and have
done for years, so I really don't see what all the fuss is about.
Peoples inability to properly align the data on their disks can be read
either as a failing in the technology (the partitioning applications
have not caught up yet) or simply a lack of understanding on how to
apply the technology.
Don't blame the drive manufacturers, this should have happened _years_ ago.
