Which NTFS cluster size?

[Anusha]

Which NTS cluster size are you using in your partitions?

I'm using the default 4096 byte (4KiB) clusters. I read somewhere that if you have larger clusters, it will lower the overhead (CPU cycles maybe) when reading and writing files....something like 16KiB or even 32KiB.

I'm not sure if I should try and see if it's true. If you have a lot of tiny files, then it would waste disk space.
