Question SSD Crucial: disable 8.3 Filename creation?

[frariky]

Hi all,
I've just performed a fresh install of Windows 10 64bit on a Crucial SSD.
According to the Cucial "storage executive" software, it is suggested I disable the "8.3 Filename creation".
Is this really recommended?
Thank you

Which SSD do you have out of Crucial's portfolio? Which version of Windows 10 did you install?

Thank you for your reply. I have the Windows 10 64bit Home edition. The SSD is the Crucial BX500 (120Gb)

I've never heard that recommendation on any drive.Crucial or otherwise, SSD or otherwise.

Did it give a reason?

Thank you for your answer: this is what it says

Can't see your image.

I'll try again

Ah, OK.
They're recommending turning that OFF, simply because it is not necessary any more. NTFS can natively handle file names of longer than 8.3.

But...no real need to turn it off.

Shall I leave things with no changes... or I turn it off?
Apparently if turned off, the performance will improve... I don't know if this is true or not though

 

[USAFRet]

Either way.
I doubt you'd see any actual performance difference.

Thank you, I'll try to turn it off then

You should change the Sata port to AHCI mode as well since you have an SSD now.

Thank you for the advice. Unfortunately I can't do it via my BIOS because I don't have any option/setting that allows me to change it. Is there another way to change to AHCI without using the BIOS?
