Hi,

Compressing the drive, or folders on it, really won't gain you all that
much. The option will be on the drive property's general tab. You'd be
better off getting a larger drive or an additional one to supplement the
main drive.

Compressing hard drives has NEVER been a good idea...

Do NOT do it. It is a recipe for future disaster..
