Segment of space on a hard drive. Each file, no matter how small in actual size, takes up at least one cluster on the hard drive. As drive sizes increase, so does the cluster size. Thus, if you have a large drive and many small files, you may waste a significant amount of space on your drive. To avoid this, physically partition the drive into multiple "logical drives" of a smaller size. These smaller, logical drives also use smaller cluster sizes, wasting less space. |
