rwbishUP Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 Are there any negative effects, or performance hits that would be caused by compressing my DCS SSD, in order to free up some space?
scommander2 Posted July 29, 2023 Posted July 29, 2023 I think that the impact is on the OS side (especially CPU and I/O to handle uncompressing), and DCS is just waiting the data to be loaded in, isn't it? 1 Spoiler Dell XPS 9730, i9-13900H, DDR5 64GB, Discrete GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, 1+2TB M.2 SSD | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS + TPR | TKIR5/TrackClipPro | Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box | Win 11 Pro

This is a subject where there is little hard benchmark data .. this is the best I could find: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ssd-ntfs-compression,3073.html Seems that the performance hit would be very small if you have a reasonably modern multicore processor, but the space gained is not a lot either, around 20% extra space. On my own case, I prefer to have the drive not compressed .. as the SSD drive costs nowadays are pretty low. 2 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
