Does anybody know a quick and short way to know the bytes number per sector in a given data store device?

Isn't it like always 512?

Drive$ = "C:\"

If GetDiskFreeSpace_(@Drive$, @SectorsperCluster.l, @BytesPerSector.l, @FreeClusters.l, @TotalClusters.l)

  Debug "BytesPerSector: "+Str(BytesPerSector)
  
Else

  Debug "error!"

EndIf

Note: The other values you get there are quite useless, because they are only
correct for drives smaller than 2GB.

The BytesPerSector value should be correct tough, even if the drive is too big. (acording to MS docs)
