Reading 1 GB file in 10 KB chunks and saving in different location

I want to read a 1 GB file in 10 KB chunk and move it to a different location (let say different folder for now) in Nodejs. I have read about various options in nodejs such as createReadStream, readFile. But Issue is, in my code I want to read file in 10 KB chunk only and pipe data somehow and save data.

ReadStream and readFile read the file in chunks, but the size is not configurable. If this is critical for you, you will need to use the low-level file API methods like fs.open, fs.read, fs.write, and fs.close.
