Internal fragmentation wastes half of the smallest logical sector size (ie, 512 bytes in 8 fragments per 4K block is or was typical for UFS) times the number of files on the filesystem.  The hardware sector size isn't directly relevant, unless you've changed the filesystem tuning to match up logical sector size with the physical sector size...although doing such is usually beneficial.
