Anyone know of any pros/cons of the newer Western Digital 'ears' model
drives in Linux?
They have 4kB sectors which are larger and different from 512B sectors
of hard drives in the past.

i found a few posts like this one saying they are having problems with
performance in Ubuntu:

Eh? Thanks for your advice,
