Ok, at this point we have no evidence that larger fs block sizes will be
required for this SSD.  That email from sandisk doesn't really tell us a whole
lot, simply saying "8k alignment" isn't terribly informative.  Is that the
minimum alignment, the physical alignment, etc.  I think someone will need to
get their hands on a device to see what it really advertises.  Scouting around
the web I've not seen any indication that this device has an 8k logical
blocksize; if it did there would surely be some noisy reviews out there about
how it doesn't work on x86 linux today, I think.
