Does choosing a larger unit size make it perform faster when it comes to searching files in the disk drive or even writing/reading files? Larger allocation unit means the hard disk needle needs less block addresses to check when searching a certain file. Does it make file search faster?
I will give 1GB of wasted disk space for this. I currently have 25,372 files below 32KB in my hard drive and that sums up to 831MiB size on disk of total space for the 25,372 files which only have 37MB of actual file size.
Define what you believe faster to mean in this context? – Ramhound – 2015-02-11T16:06:18.513
What exactly do you mean by searches? Searches from what and how? – Zoredache – 2015-02-11T19:15:44.157
