Every hard drive has an allocation size to store information. Depending on what you use, your hard drive can be accessed faster or slower, can hold less information or more.

So if your allocation size is 512 bytes, then that means every file will round up to fit that size specification. So if you have a 14 byte file, then it will automatically round up to 512 bytes. If you have a 4000 byte file, it will round up to 4096 bytes.

Ok cool. So let me get this strait, If I have a hardrive with a Large allocation size on my hardrive then it can read the files quicker and write them quicker?

Or is it the other way around. Or am i stupid.

I'm pretty sure a larger allocation size will enable your hard drive to read through your files faster. Though if you want a more detailed description, go here:
