Not sure where you got this figure from, the Barracuda Green (http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds1720_barracuda_green.pdf) is a different drive to the one we've been talking about in this thread (http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/ds_barracuda_lp.pdf). I would note

I'm using these drives for one of the vdevs in my pool. The pool was created with ashift=12 (zpool binary from http://digitaldj.net/2010/11/03/zfs-zpool-v28-openindiana-b147-4k-drives-and-you/), which limits the minimum block size to 4KB, the same as the physical block size on these drives. I
