===Controversy and unfavorable remarks from power users===
Because the NVFS File System was designed to use clusters of 512 [[byte]] blocks, power users have complained that files take approximately 33% more space than in volatile file systems. In fact a volatile file system uses a block size of only 14 bytes, compared to the NVFS File System minimum block size of 512 bytes. palmOne responded to this complaint by offering a free 128 [[megabyte]] [[Secure Digital Card|SD Card]] on request to selected customers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,118736,00.asp |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050207091154/http://pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,118736,00.asp |archive-date=2005-02-07 |title=PCWorld.com - New File System Constrains Treo 650 Storage Capacity}}</ref> At the NVFS Early Release, Palm (at the time palmOne) would{{clarify|date=May 2016|reason=They would do this if what?

Currently Palm-branded products using NVFS should be shipped with the NVFS Fix already installed. (The Tungsten E2 uses 4kb blocks.) (It is recommended those having earlier versions of the Palm Treo 650 and Tungsten T5 install the NVFS Fix at the earliest possible convenience). Such controversy gave the [[Tungsten T5]] and the [[Treo 650]] unfavorable remarks from power users.{{citation needed|date=April 2012}}
