S2D 4k vs 64k which one should i choose?

Question

Have read on numerous blogs a potential performance impact when using 4k block size for volumes in S2D vs 64k. &nbsp;What does microsoft recommend for optimal performance?

steven ekren · Answer

Good question. S2D will work with either, but storage spaces is
optimized for 4k. It does many operations on a block basis and in 4k
chunks so if they are 64k blocks it just means reading in and writing
more data than necessary.

Is this enough?
