    Use MiniTool Partition Wizard to change volume cluster size
    Here is a presentation of using MiniTool Partition Wizard to change volume cluster size in dynamic disk. What is cluster? Cluster is the minimum unit of saving data. For better management of disk space and efficiently accessing data, system rules that one cluster can only save one file. So the disk space occupied by files can only be integral multiple of cluster size. If one file is smaller than the cluster size, it will still occupy one cluster. Therefore, the real occupied space of one file is larger than its actual size. Only when the file size is just the integral multiple of cluster size will the two sizes match. By changing cluster size we can use disk space more effectively.
