Need help in checking if 4K Aligned

Hello,

I am new here. I have 2 x 6-Bay Business Edition ReadyNases. Could someone please help me check if the drives are 4K Aligned?

Below are the PARTITION.logs exported from both Nases.

Thanks in advance.

    All sector starts are multiples of 8, so it is 4K aligned. AFAIK SPARC ReadyNas were not aligned with their early firmware, but all other ReadyNAS were always 4K aligned.
