I'm wondering if 8kb clusters (minimum allocation unit) for an OS/programs drive would be faster than the standard 4kb clusters if I install xp on my 15k cheetah. I know 4kb is best for slow 7200rpm drives but what about the scsi?

Or, are there (speed) reasons why the os drive should always be 4kb?

Thanks!
