Creating Array has a menu for "sector size", what does it means? How the selection would impact in the performance of the unit?
This menu allows me to select between: 512B, 1k, 2k, 4k.
Terramaster D5 Thunderbolt 3.
MacBook Pro M2
64 GB

Modern/newer Advanced Format drives use 4K logical sectors & that's what you should be using in an array for them as well.
Which brand & model/part number drives are you (intending on) using?
