I'd imagine the market for a 4k sector drive which only does 4k sectors on the wire, would be very limited considering the amount of driver and OS support for this. Otoh a lot of OSes write 8 blocks at the same time because they use 4k page sizes so doing 512b sectors on the SATA layer and 4k when writing to the drive makes a lot of sense.
I don't really see what it is you're looking for when it comes to "more information"?
