Ey guys
I’ve been informed that my HDD would perform better in exchange of some disk space by increasing the cluster-size. I am using this amazing HDD management utility called Partition Magic. I’ve increased the cluster-size from 4K to 64K, which would perform better. When the operation was done my disk actually performed better then it did before, but it eventually lead to a disk-failure. Windows automatically ran CheckDisk at the next startup. This utility automatically changed the cluster-size back to 4K, decreasing performance. I tried changing it back to 64K and manually ran CheckDisk again. Same result.
Why is CheckDisk doing that?
I am using a 500GB Hitachi IDE and 20GB Maxtor IDE (this one’s only used for paging and was also affected by CheckDisk’s changes)
Thanks in advance!
