S2D 4k vs 64k which one should i choose?
Have read on numerous blogs a potential performance impact when using 4k block size for volumes in S2D vs 64k. What does microsoft recommend for optimal performance?
- Jeff D. ChaseCopper ContributorYes, thank you for the quick answer.

Good question. S2D will work with either, but storage spaces is optimized for 4k. It does many operations on a block basis and in 4k chunks so if they are 64k blocks it just means reading in and writing more data than necessary.
