I read that NTFS compression needs a patition formatted with an allocation unit size <= 4KB.

How can the cluster size of a partition affect the ratio of NTFS compressed files? For example, a cluster size of 512 bytes instead of 4 KB?

Be sure to read 2nd to last paragraph of the link after you scan over the stuff you already know. – Psycogeek Dec 19 '11 at 0:58
