Performance & battery · Performance modes

How do I switch Storage Studio to a different performance mode?

Short answer: Open Storage Profile from the More menu and click the performance label in its header (for example "Auto · Good"). Choose Automatic, Extreme, Rich, Good, Light or Minimum; the change applies immediately.

Open the Storage Profile (from the More menu •••, or the Storage Profile card on the Home screen) and use the small performance control in the top-right of its header. It shows the current level — for example Auto · Good — and opens a menu where you can pick Automatic, Extreme, Rich, Good, Light or Minimum.

  1. Open Storage Profile.
  2. Click the performance label in the header.
  3. Choose a mode. It takes effect straight away and is remembered.

Hover over the label to see the reason for the current level when Storage Studio has eased off — for example "Low battery — saving power". Picking Automatic again hands the decision back to the app.
