i got curious how visible this speed difference would
be, so while i was setting up the disk anyway, i made
this unscientific experiment.
some modern linux distros (and win7) use 2048 sectors
as offset for their first partition, an alignment of
1MB. openbsd's fdisk uses 64. one thing it
i was putting a 2.5 500G WD disk into a usb enclosure
and i noticed that instead of technical information
they used to put there (chs, lba, etc) most of the
space was taken up by a notice about this being
advenced format drive, and how speed will suffer if
used with windows xp, etc, without
