Hard Disk Compression

by nxcmp - 2/23/08 11:53 AM

I have a problem. I have a few Hard Disks (no OS's, storage only) that need good compression but I was wondering if there are any better programs/utilities that do a better job then windows built in one? I have managed to remove all absolute non essential files, and still am low on space. Any suggestion ?

Thanks

You can find more if you wish but Windows disk compression isn't that great. Nice, easy and fast but it's main goal is not "space" but time.

it's really hard to recommend compression.

Just received a pair of 500's at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=ST3500830AS-R

They were even cheaper than the 93 bucks I see today...
