This is correct. So the question should be:

When one opens a raw device via open(/dev/rdisk...) how does one get the hardware sector size (which in this case is needed for read or pread)?

It seems to be 512 for disks, 2048 for rotating media. But maybe there is something better than trial and error?

You can get this value from IOKit fairly easily, using "kIOMediaSizeKey".
