B. Use GPT, which does not have the CHS baggage. It is easier and more bsd labels doesn't have too versatile. My systems with GPT disks don't complain about track alignment. Or maybe that's ahci(4)'s doing. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org

The cause of the low write performance is the disabled write cache. Enabling the write cache is unsafe on SATA drives (with or without NCQ), since they do not make any guarantees that nearby data is not lost if power fails during a disk write. It never happened to me, but there is a reason that
