Hello,

I'm running Windows 11 24H2. If I add a large volume - it wants to know what size I should set the cluster for when creating the volume. I'll have a mixture of small files and large files. I see that for large files, a larger cluster size might be beneficial for performance.

I guess my question is if I have a lot of 1K files (in addition to the very large GB files) will I use up 128K of storage for that single 1K file?
