There's also the fact that disk manufacturers are notoriously
unable to commit to the same size disks across models. A RAID
expecting 4 identical 1,024,000,048,576 byte disks might be
unhappy when you have to substitute in a 1,016,000,000,384 byte
disk from the same manufacturer -- but if you created partitions
that were all 1,000,000,000,000 in size, everyone will get
along.
