Allocation unit size will my computer be able to write a file that's 900MB faster to the USB flash drive if I do a larger number if I don't care about wasted space on my USB 32GB Flash Drive?

You can check that site out to better understand allocation unit size

I'm hoping to get a better understanding I read it but still need clarification sorry!
 
Solution
As far as I know, the write speed is determined by how fast the data can go across the USB connection, and how fast it can be written to the flash memory of the USB drive. In most cases, the memory writing process will be the rate limiting step. Increasing allocation size will not change either of the factors, and therefore will not change the speed at which data is written to the drive.
