I have found out that if I set the allocation unit on exFAT to 2K, in the best case I have a drive that is not recognisable and in the worst case a blue screen.
Win 11 23h2.
Has anyone had the same issue?
Thank you!

It seems to work as expected with the 2K cluster size. Perhaps you're using an older version of the RAM Disk app?

There were a couple of issues related to custom cluster sizes that have been resolved in recent updates:

  • Version 4.4.2: Fixed an incorrect cluster size issue when using custom sizes.
  • Version 4.2: Fixed an issue with exFAT formatting for large disks with small clusters, where the FAT bitmap exceeded 64 bit.
