Windows NTFS compression

I use it selectively, for example for ISOs which sometimes contains a lot of zeroed data.

>ISOs
Good idea. I'll try on some isos too. I also use it selectively only.

>>60738571
Of course.

>>60738550
Hard drives are slow, CPUs are fast you are better using NTFS compression as often as possible on old spinning drives.

>>60738825
Yeah, I was thinking about that too.

>>60738550
I use it with ISO and PSD files.
unrelated question, how does one take a screenshot with transparency like the one in the OP?

Is compression a good or bad defense against bit rot? You do get less bits which decrease the risk of bit rot but at the same time perhaps bit rot is more devastating to compressed data since the system won't be able to decompress it and thus it'll become corrupt easier?

>bit rot
You mean physical bad sectors? I think it would make things harder to recover.

I set all of my HDDs to compress by default. I don't bother on SSDs. It's a bit backwards but meh.
