That doesn't always work.  I got an unmountable, unreadable file system when I dd'ed from a disk effectively with 512-byte sectors to a disk with 4096-byte sectors not pretending to be 512 bytes.

The latter disk was external, Micronet Fantom, but I think the same applies to external USB hard drives of other brands such as Seagate and Western Digital.
