Hi, fellows!

So, finally, what block size for cache to set is the best for NTFS 4096 bytes cluster?

16KB set by default. Manual says block size should fit cluster size of main drive, while on the other hand it may overload CPU.

Should I leave 16KB? Or set 4KB? Would 4KB "block size" will fit? How heavy it will overload my CPU? 9600KF.

With today's computers, we often see that a block size of 32KB may instead have the best performance. However, this may also vary with different computer hardware configurations. I think 16KB is fine. 4KB block size will result in about 2.5GB of memory overhead, which is wasteful.

Thnx! Changed to 16GB.
