Thank you Gil. By accident, I thought, I had a 13·2Gb drive which turned out at 4096
bytes. What happened is that it was about 6Gb when originally formatted. As I needed
more space on that particular drive I used a Partition Resizer (Zeleps) to increase
the size to 13·2Gb and found that the cluster size remained at 4096 bytes.
After reading about NTFS and problems of stability with ME on large volumes. I decided
to format the 30·0Gb drive F to 4096 clusters as well, and I have to say that I have
less problem now with renaming folders and so on.
Your three drives all have 8192 byte clusters, simply by virtue of the fact that
they are over 8·0Gb. How do you think that affects performance/drive space?
