Generally, we try avoid silencing warnings just for silencing them unless it
makes the code more readable.

The other way to silence this warning would be to delete the check on line 500
because if it can't be larger than 64 then it can't be larger than 448.  It's
not like SECTOR_SIZE is going to get smaller in the future.
