Specifically on large media drives. I'm interested in this subject because I just purchased a 8TB external hard drive (WD White Label) that is specifically going to be used to store hi-res images, music, and 1080p/4k video files. I also plan on editing some of these files as needed, so fragmentation is to be expected. My goal is to use an optimal AUS size with a good balance between speed and fragmentation prevention. Images will be the smallest files and will average around 1mb each.

I'm mostly concerned about fragmentation. I will be editing thousands of images on this drive. Does cluster size affect defragmentation speed? – a1chera_ Jan 11 '19 at 04:58

I decided to use a 1MB cluster size. Biswapriyo's link answered my question. – a1chera_ Jan 11 '19 at 05:21
