Hi!
Perhaps the most popular suggestion would be

do not use Windows and NTFS, if that is not a server version or perhaps do not use it at all and use Linux/FreeBSD instead without using of NTFS

However, you may optimize your NTFS:

  1. Enable automatic defragmentation for the disk, if you disabled it (it’s enabled by default)
  2. If you have managed UPS, then you may enable a write cache on the disk (both checkboxes). if you do not have a managed UPS, you should disable these checkboxes instead.
  3. Disable indexer and the antivirus monitoring of the disk with data
  4. Disable 8dot3: NTFS Disable 8dot3name
  5. Disable atime: [Solved] Win10 20GB Ram Usage - #17 by arrogantrabbit
  6. Do not run more than a one node per disk
