Answer)

The cluster size helps in representing the trade off between the efficient storage as well as efficient data handling. There isn't a limit on the kind of clusters available per volume but larger cluster size would allow the information for being stored as well as retrieved faster as fewer logical operations would need to move the same amount of data.

The downside of the large cluster is mostly the wasted space and if the system would have many small files then there are unoccupied half cluster which gets added up to the substantial storage amount. If one would not exceed the number of available cluster in the volume then one can reclaim the substantial space on the volume with respect to choosing the smaller cluster size while there are small files.

One can alternatively divide the physical disk into many smaller volumes where one can get more usable space on the same hard drive.
