These examples illustrate the effect of cluster size on hard disk space allocation.
If you replace a hard disk drive with a much larger capacity drive, normally you will create a
larger partition size on the new drive. When you copy files from a smaller partition to a larger partition, the
same files require surprisingly more space on the disk because of the increased cluster size.
