The physical hard disk is divided into sectors, which is the smallest unit of storage. The sector size is defined during the low level format performed by the hard disk manufacturer (Standard 512 Bytes).
 
When formatting a hard disk partition it is divided into clusters with a certain cluster size.  A cluster is a group of sectors and can only be occupied by one file.  Enterprise Vault will create placeholders based on cluster size of the disk.
 
To check the cluster size of an already formatted partition, run the following syntax from a command prompt:
C:\>fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo c:
(replace c with the drive letter of choice)
Below is the output from this command:
