    How to get (with Powershell) Cluster and Sector size of partition?


    How do I find out WITH POWERSHELL the current cluster size and the sector size for a partition S:\?

    The following does not work:

    Get-Volume S:\ | Format-List AllocationUnitSize, FileSystemLabel

    The command

    fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo S:\

    should not be used

    :)

    Hello @tobwen,

    I noticed that you haven't had a reply so I thought I would try to help.

    Have a look at this => How to: Find out NTFS partition cluster size/Block size

    I hope this helps.

    How to get (with Powershell) Cluster and Sector size of partition?

    Raid 0: what cluster size?

    Hello friends.

    I've created a raid 0 with 64kb stripe... I've been testing with 64 and 128 kb and the best results in the bechs were with 64 kb stripe. And now, creating the partitions, I don't know what cluster size would be better... Any suggestion?

    The rig will be used for p2p and gaming....

    Thanks a lot
