If you've searched for answers before you should have realised by now

Where exactly did you learn that the default is 150? It's wrong. You've 
been told this before and instructed to Google for the correct 
information, but you have just ignored it and chosen to believe whatever

the web, thereby proving your thinkheadedness.

The default is 512 bytes. [1]
