These things are not carved in stone, but mere logic convention. Most common is 255 (heads) times 63 (sectors per track) = (16065 SPC) on disks up to 2048G. Also common, but mostly on laptops, is 240 times 63 = (15120 SPC). Neither are compatible with 4k alignment. >2T convention I believe is too new for there to be an established convention except if EFI BIOS GPT is used.
