I've learned that you should format a hdd with 16k clusters UP to a 250gb, but would it be aright if it was formatted at 32k clusters? I accidentally formatted it this way and I don't want to redo it. I know that if if I put in a 250gb or GREATER and then formatted it with only 16k clusters I would eventually have >Atualizada:

In the "read me" that comes with both versions of xbpartitioner it reads "32k clusters solve the corruption problem many people have reported when using partitions larger then 256GB".

I'm putting everything on the F partition, which ends up being somewhere around 230gb or so. I only divide a HDD drive into F and G when installing a 500gb or a 750gb, and when doing those large HDD's I would partition them at 32k.

There just seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there on whether to format at 32k when the partition goes above 137gb or when it goes above 256gb.

I'm beginning to believe that the info I've been goggling is conflicting because of the different bios people are using and I'm reading a lot of old information too.

In any case, it seems like it would be safer just to format with 32k no matter what size you decide on for your F partition.

Unless a partition goes over 512gb then it's 64k..........or 128 for 1TB.............lol (: I'm not even going to think about that...........lol
