Hi all I have just done a clean install of everything on my pc and when I
reformatted my 80 gig hd there are options for the allocation unit size, at
the moment I have it formatted with the default allocation size but would
like to know if a small size of say 512 bytes will speed things up faster
than default allocation size.
it says this when I right click and click "whats this"
Specifies the disk allocation unit size or cluster size. All file systems
used by this version of windows orginise your hard disk based on cluster
size. Which represents the smallest amount of disk space that can be
allocated to hold a file. The smaller the cluster size you use, the more
efficently your disk stores information. If no cluster size is specified
during format, windows picks defaults based on the size of the volume.
Thanks
