Undoubtedly, reasonable partition management is very important to Server. It not only ensures Server operating efficiency and stability on Server, but also promotes Server disk space utilization rate to largest extent. However, to users knowing little computer knowledge, partition management work is not very easy. The reason is quite simple – the Windows Server 2008 disk management tool with limited functions can't meet users' Server partition management requirements. For example, it fail to fast change cluster size without influencing partition use and data security. Luckily, along with the maturity of partition management technology, users can download a piece of powerful partition magic for Windows Server 2008 and use it to change cluster size.

Why users need to change cluster size?
Firstly, "Cluster" is the smallest unit used to store and manage file by Windows operating system. File in Windows computer is kept in one or multiple clusters. Every cluster keeps data belonging to the same file (namely, two different files can't be kept in one cluster). Therefore, if the whole file doesn't completely occupy one or more clusters, the unused space will be idled. For instance, if users keep a 10K file in partition with 8K cluster, this file will occupy two clusters, making the other 6K space idle. That is to say, if the partition cluster is oversized, the disk space utilization will be influenced. However, if the partition cluster size is too small, file will be kept in more clusters. When system reads file, it has to visit more clusters, lowering the file read speed. Therefore, to prompt Server file read speed and disk space utilization rate, it is important to set reasonable cluster size.

How to change cluster size with partition magic for Windows Server 2008?
To fast change cluster size without influencing partition use and data security by using partition magic for Windows Server 2008, users should firstly visit http://www.partition-magic.com/ to download it.
