What is the best partition cluster size for speeding up Harddisk recording, or is there no difference?
Hi it's down to your PC system and what your recording to your harddrive. Are you getting problems with something your doing?
Tanx You!

i think FAT32 32K clusters will give you optimium performance for hard disc recording regardless of your system.
And I can't complain about my FAT32 4K clusters performance either. If you have a fast system/hard disk it doesn't matters I think.
The three steps to happyness:
1. Read the rules
2. Use the search
3. Enjoy your stay
AMD Athlon XP 2000+, ASUS A7V333, 256MB DDR-SDRAM PC2100, ASUS V9180 TD GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x,
LG GCE-8160B 16x10x40x CD-RW, Pioneer DVD-ROM DVD-117, SB Live! MP3+, Windows 2000 SP2.
I think Fat32 is faster for audio regording on hard disk, and ntfs for video recording. That is from my personal experience.
I'm using a Audio harddisk-recording system with 12 or more mono/stereo tracks, this must be stressfull for any harddisk or not? Because of reading and writing simultanious a lot of files.
12 tracks is nothing! You don't need to worry so much about h/d performance if that's all you are looking for.
about the fat32 4k clusters. While you will certainly use a lot of tracks with this setup, 32k clusters will produce less hard drive stress on multiple tracks. i wouldn't argue it's essential that convert to 32k clusters but it's certainly beneficial long term and your drive will defragment faster (larger cluster sizes defragment quicker). it will also waste less disk space for larger files.
NTFS is better for larg files
just keep the partition under 8GB and u will have a fast cluster under NTFS

Can i use (format) a NTFS partition under Win98se?
no u cant
only thing that is posible (with software) is to read from a NTFS partition....

You can not format, but you certainly CAN use it (software from Winternals called ntfs for win98)

Can someone reccomend a a program for changing FAT32 cluster sizes (possibly freeware)? I know Partition Magic does it, but I have some major gripes with that program. I'm looking for something much smaller anyways. Thanx!
