Sweet! I feel this kind of “proves” Seagate’s stance, in other words, that a quick format will suffice, since most tools these days defualt to 4096 byte sectors. Although one has to read between the lines a bit…
Thanks for your help!

Except for leaving things default, almost none of that comment is true. 4k is default for most disks today. Some transition-era ssds used 8k blocks. Do not worry about emulated block size, because ssds only use that to report to the filesystem, no sectors exist on solid state media.
