I know that for decades now, hard disks don't really reveal their actual internal geometry (which is complicated anyway, since inner cylinders may have fewer sectors than outer cylinders, etc.), and present fictional geometries to satisfy legacy software, but I found it weird anyway.
I have a ZFS raidz2 NAS which originally consisted of 8x2 TB SAS disks and is now in the process of being live-upgraded to 8x4 TB (change disks one by one, resilver, change, resilver, etc ...)
I now have four of the disks replaced, and in NetBSD they all report different geometries. They all report the exact same number of total blocks, so it's not actually an issue, but still strange.

Two of them are IBM-branded (although they are in fact all Seagate Constellation ES.3), so I might expect slight differences, but even those with the same branding and the same revision present different geometries.
Anyway, probably just a curiosity, it will be interesting to find what the remaining four disks will show.
I might add that the older 2 TB disks (Seagate Constalleation ES, IBM-branded) all show the exact same geometry:

Maybe the larger disks have some sort of expected defective bits of the physical disks since it becomes increasingly difficult to produce flawless ones? Also, I am pretty sure ZFS didn't even exist yet the last time anyone used cylinders/heads/sectors for anything. That is something from the parallel ATA era and not even close to the end of that.
Sure, SCSI disks will show their defective list ("primary defects", as delivered by the factory, and grown defects, accumulated during use), and they all have a couple hundred primary defects. But I don't see why that would affect the reported geometry, given that it is fictional, anway. And all disks have enough spare tracks to accommodate for the defects, and offer the specified full number of total sectors, even for long list of grown defects. Incidentally, all the 4TB disks are still "perfect" in that they have no grown defects.
And yes, ever since LBA, nobody has used sectors and cylinders for anything.
