This is interesting. I was under the impression that the reason for 4k sector support in the first place was that it would be needed for all 3TB drives. Do you have a link?

Desired - yes, Needed - No. 4K sectors are to enable increased manufacturability of drives as capacities increase and so sector counts increase. If a HDD manufacturer can reliably & economically produce a 3TB HDD using 512 byte sectors, then why not?

Note: This however excludes consideration of any software related dependancies
