File systems and performance issues
Windows 2000 supports the FAT16 (FAT), FAT32, and NTFS file systems. There are a number of good reasons to use NTFS on all your disk partitions. File encryption, file compression, disk quotas, file level security, and other Windows 2000 features require NTFS; you cannot use these features on partitions formatted in the FAT file systems. Because NTFS is a more powerful file system, it does carry more system overhead. However, in most cases, the small performance difference is outweighed by its advantages.
Formatting vs. converting
What many people are unaware of is that you can increase disk performance by doing a clean format in NTFS. Windows 2000 allows you to convert a FAT or FAT32 partition to NTFS, but a converted disk will not perform as well as one that has been formatted in NTFS. Thus, if you have a choice between converting and formatting, you may want to save your data and format the partition in NTFS.
Tip
Be sure to back up any data on the FAT/FAT32 disk before you format it in NTFS, because formatting causes you to lose all the data on the partition.
NTFS performance tuning
By disabling unneeded features and functions, you can improve the performance of NTFS. For backward compatibility, NTFS creates a corresponding eight-dot-three filename (MS-DOS type name) along with the long filename you give a file. If you are not sharing files with 16-bit operating systems (MS-DOS, Windows 3.x) or applications, you dont need this feature. Disabling the automatic creation of short names will eliminate the overhead required to perform this task and enhance performance. Another NTFS feature that can be disabled for improved performance is the automatic update of the time/date stamp (last access update) when a directory is traversed. Both of these performance-tuning modifications require that you edit the Registry. Always exercise caution when making direct changes to the Registry.
Tip
The performance hit caused by last access updates may not be significant on small NTFS volumes but can be noticeable on large volumes.
