Drashna, a question for you - playing with AS SSD to see the read/write speeds of various cluster sizes and ReFS/NTFS, I noticed that AS SSD benchmark tool will show in red or green if a drive is aligned correctly.
What I've noticed is that on my ReFS pool (64k cluster size) and my NTFS pool (2mb cluster size) are both misaligned. 32785K BAD
However, when I add a drive letter to the ReFS 64k drive alone - that is aligned correctly. 132096K OK
When I add a drive letter to the NTFS 2mb drive alone - this is not aligned correctly. 132096K BAD
Am I missing something? I've read that to get best performance from a drive it should be aligned correctly. I can assume that 2mb cluster size (being new) is not aligned correctly. But if the ReFS 64k cluster drive is aligned correctly - shouldn't the pool with only ReFS 64k drives also be aligned correctly?
