So is there any way to tell the kernel to write 4k at once even after the 
partitions are aligned right?   The size of this thing is really attractive for 
carrying data offsite and it seemed to "just work" in a windows 2003 server. I 
don't know the write speed it gets there, but the backup run to it completes 
overnight.
