For the ddb volume:

The DDB disk on Windows MediaAgent should be formatted at 32 KB file system block size to reduce the impact of NTFS fragmentation over a time period. The DDB disk on LINUX MediaAgent should be formatted at 4 KB file system block size.

It shouldnt matterĀ as long as the disks areĀ fast, dedicated, giveĀ out the proper iops, and can be formatted to the proper FS Block size for windows (32KB) and linux v(4KB).
