+<p>The data read/write operation to the storage devices is done in unit of <em>sector</em>. FatFs supports the sector size in range of from 512 to 4096 bytes. When FatFs is configured to fixed sector size (<tt>_MIN_SS == MAX_SS</tt>, this will be the most case), the read/write function must work at that sector size. If variable sector size is selected (<tt>_MIN_SS < MAX_SS</tt>), FatFs inquires the sector size with <tt>disk_ioctl()</tt> after initialization</tt>.
