Not really, no. You can find disks that are 4k/512b, that is, they emulate the 512-byte block with an internal read-modify-write cycle, and they'll give you some performance advantage as well, since we're aligning partitions on the larger boundary. Real 4k/4k disks still seem to be in NDA land for now.
