Some one can tell me whot the best "Allocation unit size" is when formating a 640gig hard-drive to ntsc,.!?
i am now using 4096 bytes,. but maybe its not the best way to format a 640gig hardrive,.
If you are going to store multimedia stuff that is usually huge in size, make cluster bigger to increase a performance. If small web pages or text documents, make cluster size smaller not to loose a lot of disk space. Think!
if you storing all those umd isos there i say make it 8000bytes whatever

i was thinking small files large unit,. ;p,. i guess i am best off with whot i am using now,. because its really a mixxed storage,. i did wander if it its good to partition the disk,. but i don't think that is necessary with hard drives these days,.
o shoot formating takes so long,.
Large block size » fast, but lot of space wastage
Small block size » slow, but not too much wastage.
Generally, if you've got a lot of large files, use the large block size. If a lot of small files, use a small block size.
Also, try a quick format.
