The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03)
:
cluster
An elementary unit of allocation of a disk made
up of one or more physical blocks.
A file is made up of a whole number of possibly
non-contiguous clusters. The cluster size is a tradeoff
between space efficiency (the bigger is the cluster, the
bigger is on the average the wasted space at the end of each
file) and the length of the FAT.
