Problem

How does a cluster size affect the readyboost function? The default cluster size is 2^12 bytes. What about higher order? I think of 2^13 bytes or 2^14 bytes? What is better ExFat or NTFS for ReadyBoost?

Fix for: What is the best cluster size for a ReadyBoost ntfs memory card?

Low Risk

I started testing cluster size and I found that for my 8Gb thumb drive the best format was Exfat at 4096Kb. I tested with DiskMark. Speedgain at 8192Kb was negligible but there was gain over 2048Kb cluster size.
