As you can see NTFS supports an array of sizes.... Hope this helps you guys out.

Scott

FORMAT drive: [/V:label] [/Q] [/T:tracks /N:sectors]
FORMAT drive: [/V:label] [/Q] [/1] [/4]
FORMAT drive: [/Q] [/1] [/4] [/8]

  /A:size         Overrides the default allocation unit size. Default
settings
                  are strongly recommended for general use.

*********** NTFS supports 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16K, 32K, 64K.***********

                  FAT supports 8192, 16K, 32K, 64K, 128K, 256K.
                  NTFS compression is not supported for allocation unit
sizes
                  above 4096.
