I also get this bug on a newly installed 12.4 with Seagate ST2000DM001 drives. Reported misalignment is 3072 bytes. Both drives work and pass all diagnostics, but average seek time is 14.2 to 14.4 ms.
based on question 184477 I ran sudo fdisk -l; mount; echo; lsb_release -a; uname -a and got WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdc'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT.
