What happens with NTFS compression? Using the NTFS file compression tutorial

　　What is appropriate for NTFS compression?

Files that are rarely accessed-if you use these files infrequently, the speed at which compression can be reduced is basically imperceptible.

Uncompressed format file--office documents, text documents, PDF and other types of file compression rate will be more significant, and MP3, JPEG and video files in their own compressed format, so the second compression is not meaningful, and may even have no effect.

　　Which is not suitable for NTFS compression?

System files and other program files-compression can significantly degrade system performance and may lead to other problems. on today's desktops and laptops, CPUs are idle for most of their time, allowing them to decompress quickly. On the server, the CPU workload is always high, and using compression only reduces the file's access speed.

Compressed format files-not only zip, rar, and so we usually know the so-called "compressed file", most popular multimedia format files such as MP3, JPEG, a variety of video files, itself is compressed code. Computers that do not have high CPU power, such as laptops with low voltage versions of CPUs.

　　How do I operate NTFS compression?

1. Right-click the file, folder, or partition you want to compress, and select Properties from the menu.

2, click the Advanced button below the attribute.

3, check the compressed file to save disk space, and then click OK, and then click OK.

4. If you choose a folder, Windows asks if you want to compress all the files in the folder at the same time.

5, compression success. In this example, by compressing a folder that contains text files, it takes up about 40% less space from 356KB to 255KB. The text file is not in a compressed format, so the effect of NTFS compression is obvious.

Compressed files and folders are displayed in the explorer in blue.
