AFAIK, SSDs will internally convert to 4096 in their firmware even if 
they report a physical sector size of 512 through SMART. Just a 
compatibility thing. So formatting with 4096 is fine and gets rid of the 
internal conversion.

I believe Windows always uses 4096 by default and thus it's reasonable 
to assume that most SSDs are aware of that.
