intel has done something completely stupid. they have changed the

consequently, i have to rebuild my zpools or touch every new drive
they ship to make it compatible.
Are you sure? I'm pretty sure the DC S3700 is best when aligning your
IO on 4K boundaries, but still uses a 512B sector for specifying LBAs.
There's very little industry support for larger sector sizes in SATA.
BTW, what firmware, exactly, are you running on that drive?
