Just wondered what the benifits are to formating to 64k Clusters (If Any)

Using ACEKARD 2, and have 2Gig / 4Gig and an 8Gig Kingston (Jap) Micro SD Cards.

Are there any benifits/drawbacks

Thanks

Mike

it will give you a speed boost with the 2GB (it does with the scdsone anyway)
i had a acekard2 & i had slowdown in every game i played no matter how i formatted my memory cards (but mine was faulty with the FAT ERROR problem)
i dont think its possible to format your SDHC cards with 64k cluster i think i remember trying back when i had a scdsone (but i could be wrong)

Thanks JMR,

I'll give it a go.

I formated a 2 gig so far, using windows disk managment.

Hope all went well with your 8 gig card.

Not had a problem with AceKard 2 yet, both the 2.0 & 2.1 ver. (touch wood) Only problem so far is the BLEACH save problem.

Take Care

The fastest would be to format a card as FAT16 with 64K clusters, but the maximum card size is limited to 4GB. Beyond that, you have to use FAT32. Not sure about the best cluster size for FAT32 but FAT32 supports clusters of 128K and 256K.
