Is my SSD properly aligned?

[VulcaN]

I'm not sure how to tell if the drive is aligned properly? I read that I should use the diskpar utility to check, and when using the command "diskpar -i 0" this is what it returned:

---- Drive 0 Geometry Infomation ----
Cylinders = 9729
TracksPerCylinder = 255
SectorsPerTrack = 63
BytesPerSector = 512
DiskSize = 80023749120 (Bytes) = 76316 (MB)

---- Drive Partition 0 Infomation ----
StatringOffset = 1048576
PartitionLength = 53687091200
HiddenSectors = 2048
PartitionNumber = 1
PartitionType = 7
---- Drive Partition 1 Infomation ----
StatringOffset = 53688139776
PartitionLength = 26337083392
HiddenSectors = 104859648
PartitionNumber = 2
PartitionType = 7

End of partition information. Total existing partitions: 2

Yes, aligned to 1024kb

How can you tell? From reading some articles I know I have to divide one of the numbers I have by something but im not really sure what exactly it is.

StatringOffset = 1048576 / 1024 = 1024Kb

Ok, that makes sense... How do I figure it out for partition "1" ? Its not always aligned to 1024 I take it?

You only have to worry about aligning the first partition, all the others are based off the first.
