I have a WD20EARS here. As these drives still report their sector size to be 512B instead of 4KB (for compatibility purposes, apparently), you have to manually align the partition when creating it. (otherwise you'll get very slow performance, ~3.5 MB/s instead of the ~90MB/s this drive can do)

You might want to look at this :
