In some specific cases, the smaller 512-byte block size might be preferable.
When used with 512-byte disks for databases or as storage for virtual machines, less data transfers during small random reads.
This can provide better performance when using a smaller ZFS record size.

Disable prefetch. A value of `0` enables and `1` disables it. The default is
`0`, unless the system has less than 4 GB of RAM. Prefetch works by reading
larger blocks than requested into the crossref:zfs[zfs-term-arc,ARC] in hopes to soon need the data. If the workload has a large number of random reads, disabling prefetch may actually improve performance by reducing unnecessary reads. Adjust this value at any time with man:sysctl[8].
