From what I've read here and there, apparently they'll always present
512 bytes blocks, bu the system is somehow aware that the underlying
block is 4K large, apparently. It isn't very clear...
BTW, I suppose that with such a drive, it's highly commendable to use
4K FS blocks (or larger) instead of the common 1K ones...
