Don't use 'newfs -S'. The drive says it uses 512byte sectors, newfs
should record this in the superblock.

The only thing you have to assure is _alignment_.

-> Align partitions to a real sector boundary or a multiple of it.

-> Use a 'fragment size' of a real sector or multiple with 'newfs -f'.

-> Chose a 'block size' as a multiple of the the 'fragment size'
   with 'newfs -b' (the default is probably fine).
