volblocksize for zvol that is passed to Windows and formatted as NTFS

[fahadshery]

Hi All,

I have wish to create multiple ZVOLs with Deduplication on (yes, I know) and pass these to my Windows VM for game storage.
I know that whatever the workload is, NTFS always writes 4K blocks.
Do you think I should change my ZVOL volblocksize to be 4K to match that? So that I could avoid read/write amplification?
The reason I am doing deduplication is because majority of my VMs will be running/storing the same games, so will save tons of storage capacity.

Thanks
