How to find the OS block size of my Windows OS?
Microsoft defines Cluster as “In data storage, the smallest amount of disk space that can be allocated to hold a file. All file systems used by Windows organize hard disks based on clusters, which consist of one or more contiguous sectors.”
To find the OS block size:
Right Click on “My Computer” icon on the desktop
Click on “Manage”
Expand “Storage” and select “Disk Defragmenter”
Press the “Analyze” button
Once your windows completes the analysis, it presents you with a report.
Press “View Report” button
The block size is indicated by “Cluster Size”. In my case it’s 4K.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI think you can get OS block size by using "chkdsk" too ?
There is a line like this (in french) :
...
4096 octets dans chaque unité d'allocation.

Don't know about the link but the instructions still didn't help me find the BIT size ....Thanks for posting your thoughts though...
