I know many people will disagree with me. But in my experience, disk
compression always bring problems when something goes wrong. I hate to
loss data because I had no way to access a compressed HDD after system
crash (even the boot disk created on same computer won't work). Also
disk compression dose a great job to slow down your computer on any
tasks. I don't understand why people still need these trouble makers,
especially harddisk is very cheap today.
