Does the NV+ v2 (ARM) support 4k clusters?

Hi all,


I'm having rather disappointing performance on my NV+ v2 (oddly enough, transferring to a USB3.0 3TB Seagate Expansion plugged into the USB3.0 port is faster than transferring to the array!) and I'm wondering if it's down to both drives using 4k clusters (one is a WD20EARS the other drive is a Seagate ST2000DL003 - yes, neither is on the NV+ v2 HCL). I notice an update went by for SPARC and x86 to give them 4k cluster support, is it already supported on ARM and if not, is it likely to be anytime soon? I notice that the Seagate ST3000DM001 is on the NV+ v2 HCL and, if I'm not mistaken, is a 4k cluster drive (albeit with "SmartAlign" which I believe does some translation).


Cheers!

4k sector partition alignment is in the ARM firmware and has been from the very first release.
