Added in r3501, run /usr/sbin/update-smart-drivedb to test.

If this info is correct, LBA 63 is mapped to LBA 64 or PBA 8. Unlike with other "Advanced Format" drives, traditional MBR partition layout (one partition at LBA 63) would be aligned properly to a physical sector boundary. But if this drive is partitioned with new tools, first partition (typically at LBA 2048) would not be aligned properly. Does Seagate document that fact?
