Note the relocation may not occur if write request doesn't cover entire 
physical sector (it may happen on "advanced format" disk). Just an error 
may be returned instead here.

This behavior has been observed on WDC disk (but I don't remember the 
exact model and firmware version).

So physical sector size and location needs to be taken into consideration.
