However, Storj's recommended setting for object storage is **4MB**.
Taking into account [Storj segment cost](docId:59T_2l7c1rvZVhI8p91VX#per-segment-fee), using larger block sizes both reduces overall Storj costs and provides better backup and restore times.
{% callout type="info" %}
To enable **8MB** as a Storage Optimization option, create a **UIShowLegacyBlockSize** (DWORD, 1) registry value under the `HKLM\SOFTWARE\Veeam\Veeam Backup and Replication` key on the backup server. This requires Veeam 11a or newer.

You may need to reboot or restart the Veeam services for the change to take effect in Veeam's user interface.
