The TLDR of 4k vs 512 largely has to do with the size of the files going onto your medium. Many files of a smaller size fit better on a 512 boundary. Whereas larger mp3s or archives fair better on a 4k boundary. BTW these are called SECTOR sizes. Not pages. :) 4k blocks typically read faster, than the 512 blocks (sectors). Because more data can be consumed in one read/write. So really, your going to have to decide how best to "tune" your disk to best suite it's intended use. Many small files. Or big files, and storage.
You're absolutely wrong. ZFS writes transaction groups, not files. Read something on ZFS, e.g. Handbook.
