newer drive that seems the same, but is not, because it has 4k sectors. Looks
like it works, and will work, but performance drops.

Always pre-purchase one extra drive to have on hand. When you get it, confirm
it was not dead-on-arrival by hooking up on an external USB to a workstation
and running whatever your favorite tools are to validate it is okay. Then put
it back in its original packaging, and put a label on it abou
Thanks for the input.
