But we cannot specify non-standard cluster size in any other supported format even though all those formats do support customisable cluster/block sizes. If these types of settings are considered too complicated for the average target customer then include an Advanced GUI mode that opens up access to all these parameters to be used at users own risk.Īt the moment with EASEUS Partition Master Pro interface I don't feel particurlary masterful using it, Windows NTFS format utility allows specifying non-standard cluster sizes as does EPMP. e.g instead of maxing out a 160GB DVR at just over 300GB a full 1TB drive could be used! The same principles also apply to customising volumes for their intended purposes, volumes containing video footage for editing or archival purposes would benifit from 32k or 64K cluster sizes, while volumes intened to have thousands or millions of very small files would benifit from reduced cluster sizes of 0.5k/1k or 2k.Īt the moment with EASEUS Partition Master Pro interface I don't feel particurlary masterful using it, Windows NTFS format utility allows specifying non-standard cluster sizes as does EPMP. The major advantage to preparing a DVR drive offline in a PC with a tool such as this is it will allow significantly larger drives to be used than the inbuilt firmware can fully format. There should not be any technical reason why such customised formats could not be created and maintained by EPMP. Many domestic DVR's use a modified (but compatible) ext2/3 format with a 32K allocation unit size. DVR drive preparation DVR's benifit from oversized allocation unit size as it reduces fragmentation effects and reduces the in memory table size required to hold allocation maps in dedicated DVR units.
I would like to see EASEUS Partition Master Pro offer Advanced format parameters like user definable block/cluster sizes for drives/partitions that have specialised roles that benifit from non-standard allocation unit size, e.g.
