Do I need to set the "XP" jumper on pins 7-8 to play nicely with the other

to my array?
Did you create your RAID on the device or on a partition? If its on
the entire device then you should be fine, tho this might depend on
which metadata format you are using& where its located on the disc
(not sure how the metadata effects data alignment).
I created the RAID directly on the device, I have replaced the drive and
the new 4096-byte drive seems to be playing nicely with the other drives
in the array after the resync completed.
