Don't use 'newfs -S'. The drive says it uses 512byte sectors, newfs should record this in the superblock. The only thing you have to assure is _alignment_. -> Align partitions to a real sector boundary or a multiple of it. -> Use a 'fragment size' of a real sector or multiple with 'newfs -f'. -> Chose a 'block size' as a multiple of the the 'fragment size' with 'newfs -b' (the default is probably fine).
