NTFS writing

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I have a device that supports writing in 64K blocks only. To write say
4096, I need to read 64K, update 4096, then write 64K. This causes
significant performance degradation with NTFS. Is there any way, like
reporting certain geometry or whatever, to make NTFS send bigger write
chunks to the device whenever possible, especially when updating MFT?

Thanks!
