If you store mainly large files on a disk, should you use a smaller cluster size or larger cluster size? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


You should use a larger cluster size. If you store mostly large files on the disk, a larger cluster size usually results in better performance because fewer read/write operations need to be performed. In addition, smaller cluster sizes can lead to a fragmented disk, in which files are spread out all over the disk instead of being stored in consecutive locations. Fragmentation causes many more disk seek operations, which slows file access.
