Files  that  use  the  8.3  naming  convention  can  degrade  NTFS  drive  performance. Unless you have a good reason for keeping the 8.3 naming convention intact (such as if you’re using 16-bit programs), a performance gain can be achieved by disabling it. 

Set  the  Registry  DWORD  key  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\  SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\Control\ FileSystem\NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation to 1. Exit the Registry and reboot.
