Post From: Disable NTFS compression on chart data files

The compression doesn't affect SC in any way, the OS just pegs the CPU to the highest frequency, kicks the fans on and just drains my laptop battery faster. I don't have any issues with disk space on my system. I have 2TB Samsung 860 EVO SSD, 32GB RAM, and SC chart data is only at 30GB, which is nothing. I tried many optimizations and this is the only thing that worked. The bottleneck here is the processor and it's wasting CPU cycles.

I'm not running SC on a server but server processors do have hardware-accelerated compression.
