Compressing C-Drive
« on: August 31, 2009, 12:37:29 AM »
Hi

I use Windows Vista SP2

What are the pros and cons of using the "Compress This Drive To Save Disk Space" option on the C-Drive?

Thank you.

Using NTFS compression probably is not a good idea on the system drive. You will not save much.
Even though this is for XP, it is still valid:
