Is compressing files worth it if only a few KB's of space are saved?

Asked by Foxx (59points) April 2nd, 2010

I have been compressing little used files in the ZIP format on my hard drive to save space. However, the compressed files are only smaller in size by a few KB’s compared to the originals. Is compression worth it with so little space gain? Or am I doing it wrong? Would another format be more effective?
