The best allocation unit size for music.

[sphinxsix]

I need an advice on the best allocation unit size for music - mostly hi-res including SACD ISOs and scans of different sizes. The drive is WD My Book 10TB. Still Windows 7, soon probably - Wind.10. 'Standard' 4kb or go for 8kb.?

Thanks in advance!

Think I will go for my usual, standard 4kb AUS.

Thanks, guys!

@sphinxsix why did you think it might matter?

AFAIK it does matter as far as balance between the wasted disc space vs read speed is regarded, eg often people who like to stream (or record) a couple of movies at the same time use quite big AUSs on their HDs (don't know if it's justified though, I have never been interested in this). Since I'm transferring my HD music from 8TB drive to the new 10TB one (hopefully the last one ) I was simply interested in an optimum AUS.
