April 7, 20188 yr I have an PCIE NVME SSD 512gig drive. It is roughly 1/2 full with about 219gig free with P3D42 and a full-up suite of ORBX NA scenery. One day as experiment I turned on compression in the drive properties - it took about 20 minutes. While the free space remained at 219gig I noticed that ground handling was much smoother at my ORBX airports using CYBD and L05 as examples. I didn't connect the improved ground handling to having drive compression enabled until I turned compression off. When I turned compression back on the smoothness returned. Can anyone reason why enabling drive compression on my SSD has a beneficial effect?

For Prepar3D, as it's more or less mainly reading data process from SSD, the uncompress process should be un-impactful, which I doubt... Edited April 8, 20188 yr by vbazillio Vincent B.

April 8, 20188 yr i give it a try, eventhough i have a m2 samsung 960 EVO with 1 TB. I hope my 7900 X @ 4,8 ghz is capable enough :) C.

April 8, 20188 yr Author I have since turned compression back off. Also turning the indexing OFF seems to help. Cheers bs AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

I don't really know, but i find it interesting. How much free space we are talking about - before and after compression on? A long time ago, it was a good idea to have 50% free of your HDD. Now, with SSD's, i'm not sure. But more free space should improve performance, maybe not so significant with SSD, i have no a idea Zeljko Budovic

Compression may work in certain configs so it depends on the bottlekneck. The indexing contents OFF makes sense since it is added workload for the OS - longer latency. Good on a business machine maybe. bs AMD RYZEN 9 5900X 12 CORE CPU - ZOTAC RTX 3060Ti GPU - NZXT H510i ELITE CASE - EVO M.2 970 500GB DRIVE - 32GB XTREEM 4000 MEM - XPG GOLD 80+ 650 WATT PS - NZXT 280 HYBRID COOLER

I disabled a lot of services in the last couple of days, i'm still in a process on informing about them and then disabling if not important. I'm seeing an improvement already. Did you know you can disable chrome services when not in use? It saves a RAM, and with all other services disabled and / or set to manual, it's makes the difference Zeljko Budovic

Its amazing to see how it selects a few programs to be active and scales everything else right back even when your not in gaming mode ZORAN
