WD has sectors of the size 4kB in their latest hard drives, which is
different from the traditional 512B.

These articles assert that something special should be done in OS to
enable high performance of such drives. For ex. WD recommends to install
some latest drivers of particular version.
But what about FreeBSD? Should it be configured in some special way too
for these drive to perform well?
Is it aware of 4kB sector size?
