On my old 6320, I saved more than 20% harddrive space by going from HFS to
HFS+ when 8.1 came out.

And that was only a 1.2 GB drive.

HFS only supports 65536 allocation blocks, so that a 2.1 GB harddisk would
have a minimum file size of 32 KB.

HFS+ uses 4 KB as minimum file size.

This means that the HD size where begins to matter is 256 MB (Making minimum
file size 4 KB in HFS).

Cheers,

Kim
