New Media Drive...Cluster Size?

I just picked up a Seagate 7200.9 500Gig drive for all my media (Music, Pictures, Videos, and DVD). What's the most efficient way to format it? The biggest single files will be the 1 Gig DVD .vob's.

64K Clusters as davin suggested. Keep in mind that if you save SageTV recordings there, you are still looking at a very fragmented drive. That being said though, it doesn't seem to affect performance, just something you should be aware of.

Thanks. TV is on a different drive @64K. Needed a new drive as videos and movies eat space fast.
