Whenever SQL Server allocates space disk to create/restore a database or grow data/log files he fills first the files of the allocated space with “0” before using it.
Instant File Initialization allows you to skip that phase(fill with “0”)

**add security account to “Perform
Maintenance Volume Tasks” of the Windows
Local Security Policy
**Restart SQL Server Service
