Some have better 512e emulation than others. Looking for some advice on which to avoid and which are recommended. Thanks. PS this is for a CentOS6 server.

It's also possible hardware RAID will reject them unless explicitly supported. http://www.hgst.com/tech/techlib.nsf/techdocs/29C9312E3B7D10CE88257D41000D8D16/$file/Ultrastar-7K6000-DS.pdf > Some have better 512e emulation than others.
