So as you do, sometimes you have a 1TB+ drive that you want to use to store large files on it like videos.

I was just wondering if there was a higher allocation unit size you can format your drive beyond what Windows shows you. It goes from 4096 bytes to 2048 kilobytes (2MB). Can you go any higher than that if you were to do it using Command Prompt? 4MB? 12MB?
