This is not nearly as big a problem as it used to be. Drive manufacturers need to adhere to an IDEMA standard which requires them to use a specific LBA count for each capacity class.
The 2TB WD GP drives have less sectors than their 2x their 1TB drives. The 2TB ones adhere to the IDEMA standard (per your other email), but the 1TB ones do not.
