Depends what you want to use it for.  If you're going to store enterprise-level databases, the max cluster size (IIRC 64kb) is best.  If you're going to store a lot (meaning A FRIGGEN LOT) of extremely small files, then the smallest (512b or 1k) is best to avoid overhang.  If you're going to keep your porn collection, 4kb for mainly pics, maybe 8kb for videos, depending.

Mostly large files is best on larger clusters.  Mostly tiny files is best on smaller clusters.

Cool , that makes alot sense
