Comment (by kallisti5):

 I changed the description to better represent the issue.  More then just
 SSD's use larger block sizes. (some newer drives do as well)

 Changing the BFS format dialog to include the following may be a good
 change as well:

  * Block Size (radio buttons)
    * Recommended (2048)
    * Custom
      * <text box, custom size>


 Maybe DriveSetup could pass block size recommendations to each file system
 creation add-on?
