Just been messing around last night formatting 2 partitions to merge into 80Gb total - of a 160Gb Sata 1 HDD - what do people find is the best cluster size to use? (non-RAID)

Is there any performance hit for smaller clusters, or is it better just to have large cluster sizes and accept the odd few 'badly used' 8Kb here and there?

Any info/benchies would be appreciated ta!
