Acitvate NTFS compression on data storage (*.qvd/*.qwv)

Hi All!

Is anyone using NTFS compression on the QlikView Data Storage ? Any experiences on this?

Would you recommend it? Whats the downsides?

We are using a single storage for QVDs, script-QVWs, and Accesspoint-QVWs. So, activating NTFS compression could ease up storage utilisation a little.

The QVW are already compress and then with Windows doing it again, it might slow things down.
