What this best practise For Cluster Size of Disks in File Servers ? (My File Server has millions of small files) My Windows 2003 has 512 Byte to 4Kb ( maybe it is just because of my condition and partition size or is a windows 2003 limitation ?)

 

For almost all partition sizes the default cluster size will be 4KB. I do not think there is any performance gains in changing this, but if you have millions of small files as you say, and if the typical size is less than 4 KB then you could save a lot of diskspace by manually setting a low cluster size when formatting. This is most likely what has been done already for the 512 bytes cluster partitions you have.
