The default cluster size for a Windows NTFS partition larger than 2 GB is 4 KB. This information is specified on the Microsoft Support page for this type of operation. You can check the information by yourself using the hosted page at Microsoft Support. There is a table explaining the correct cluster size for different partition size.
