NTFS compression is a great thing. This will reduce the size of the files on your hard drive and you still don't need to zip and unzip the files. You can access them like other normal folders. However, as with all file compression mechanisms, it takes your computer a little more time to open the file as it performs the decompression steps in the background.

2.) Should you use drive compression under Windows 10 / 11!


If you are running low on disk space on your Windows drive,



usually C:\ the performance of your Windows PC suffers. Windows 10 sometimes automatically compresses files on your computer to free up disk space when hard drive space is running low. Often you won't even realize that your files have been compressed and you may not want this to happen automatically. To access a compressed file, Windows must first decompress it. This requires additional time, although it is very minimal.

If you have no choice because the C drive is too small!



You can do this by compressing the drive and possibly assigning a larger partition for Windows 10 on the C drive if the CPUs are too slow
