allocation unit
An allocation unit, also known as a block or cluster, is the smallest amount of disk space that can be allocated to hold a file in a computer's file system. All file systems used by Windows organize hard disks based on cluster size, which represents the smallest amount of disk space that a file can use. For example, if a file system has an allocation unit of 16 kilobytes, even a small file that contains only a tiny amount of data will still occupy 16 kilobytes of storage on the disk.
