Please help me and give suggestion which best allocation unit for sd card?
« on: November 06, 2015, 09:21:40 AM »
Hi to all,
Can somebody suggest me the best allocation unit for a
32GB
and
64GB
SD Card.
I have .mp3 files they are 4000kb til 40000kb big.
This what I have read that for 32GB is recommended 32kb allocation unit and
64GB 64kb? Is this right?
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Bye,
Elena

It doesn't really matter. For files of a few megabytes each, the lost space difference between 32KB clusters and 64KB clusters is negligible in practice.
