Question What is 'Allocation Unit Size'?

Hello there,

This question might sound simple to most of you, but could some one tell me what allocation unit size is, please? I was recently trying to format a harddrive and I am confused as to which option to choose:



Does it matter what I choose? How would it affect the hdd performance? Because I was in doubt, I chose 'default allocation size'.

Thanks in advance!
