Also, is this one of the "Green" series of WD disks? Those have
a 4KB sector size, not the old/traditional 512B sector size. This has
performance ramifications in that you must have partitions begin on
a sector boundary or performance goes to the dogs. There are a number
of articles about it on various geek sites, sorry I can't point you
to one offhand.
