This is especially true on slow laptops and tablets. If you have a computer with a slower CPU, you should probably avoid this option. The exact space savings will depend on your drive and the files on it. In 2011, Tom’s Hardware did a benchmark and found that enabling NTFS compression for a Windows system drive shrunk the drive from an original size of 70.9 GB to a compressed size of 58.4 GB, for a 17.6% space savings. zip files, too, of course.)īut the NTFS compression algorithm is optimized to be more speedy and lightweight, so it compresses less than similar file compression algorithms. (You’d see similar huge space savings by compressing those. On the other hand, if you compress a drive full of text files (.txt files), you’ll likely see huge space savings. zip files are already compressed files and the additional compression won’t do much. For example, if you compress a drive full of. If the drive contains files that are already compressed or just don’t compress well, you won’t save much space.
