It is correct. But, if the HD is to be used for video, then cluster
size doesn't really matter (video files are ~50-2000Mbytes). What
I suggest is (if it is the only HD in your system) make partition
for system&apps, necessary size (2-5G); make partition for swap (3*physical
memory); and set the rest as one partition (70-75G).
If it is not the only HD, but the fastest, put 2 partitions (swap&video).
If it is not the only HD, and not the fastest, put 1 partition (video).
Yours,
