It is. The first partition must be created on an even 4k sector aligned boundary to avoid the performance hit of unaligned access. However, from all I've read up to around March 2010, Linux, its partitioning tools, and the documentation on how to use the with 4k drives aren't ready ready for prime time yet. I'd avoid 4k sector drives until all the dust settles. > That is because filesystems already use 4KB block > sizes. This is unrelated. FS block size != sector size.
