  • SSD 64G cluster size for Vista 64

    Hi, I purchased a G. Skill 64gb for Vista 64, should I format it with another cluster size other than default 4k NTFS. Thanks!

      I tried several stripe sizes and cluster sizes and can tell you that you want the largest stripe possible, which is usually 128. I have not tested higher than this.
      For cluster size, it made no difference at all, so just go with the 4k to get the most space from the disk.

          If you go to 8K blocs it will improve the writes a little with no real decrease in the reads, eliminates a bit of the stutter also, I settled on a 128 stripe after testing numerous configurations.
