The default block size for an NTFS (New Technology File System) volume is 4 KB (kilobytes). This block size, also known as the allocation unit size, can be adjusted during the formatting process depending on the intended use of the volume. Larger block sizes may improve performance for large files, while smaller sizes can be more efficient for storing many small files.

What is the default cluster size setting when formatting a Windows NTFS partition on a hard disk drive larger than 2 GB?

The following table shows the default values that Windows XP uses for NTFS formatting. Drive size(logical volume) Cluster size Sectors----------------------------------------------------------512 MB or less 512 bytes 1513 MB - 1,024 MB (1 GB) 1,024 bytes (1 KB) 21,025 MB - 2,048 MB (2 GB) 2,048 bytes (2 KB) 42,049 MB and larger 4,096 bytes (4 KB) 8The maximum default cluster size under Windows XP is 4 kilobytes (KB) because NTFS file compression is not possible on drives with a larger allocation size. The Format utility never uses clusters that are larger than 4 KB unless you specifically override that default either by using the /A: option for command-line formatting or by specifying a larger cluster size in the Format dialog box in Disk Management.If you use the Convert utility to convert a volume from FAT to NTFS, Windows always uses a 512-byte cluster size. FAT structures are aligned on 512-byte boundaries; a larger cluster size does not allow conversion. Note also that in Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, when a partition is formatted under Windows Setup, the partition is first formatted as FAT and then converted to NTFS. Therefore the cluster size is always 512 bytes when a partition is formatted in Setup. (This information does not apply to Microsoft Windows 2000 Setup or Windows XP Setup, which both format the partition according to your choice of a file system.)


Does FAT32 support more file formats then NTFS?

No, FAT32 does not support more file formats than NTFS. In fact, NTFS is a more advanced file system that supports larger file sizes, more file types, and additional features like file permissions, encryption, and journaling. FAT32 is limited to a maximum file size of 4 GB and has a maximum volume size of 8 TB, while NTFS can handle much larger files and volumes. Thus, NTFS is generally more versatile and capable than FAT32.
