It all depended on the size of the files you stored - with 4k clusters, if you had a ton of files smaller than 4K, each one would occupy 1 4k cluster on the hard disk. If you had hundreds of small files, the wasted space would add up.

Smaller partitions meant smaller cluster sizes and more efficient storage of small files.
