Btw what does 3x compression mean in this case? Does the device itself do compression and if so how can it be a fixed rate, given the data is arbitrary?

- stonogo 3y agoYes, the compression is on-device, and it's not a fixed rate, it's a peak. Efficiently-stored data like video compresses less well or not at all.
- tempay 3y agoLTO drives include compression and manufactures quota both the guaranteed/native capacity/speed as well as the "compressed" capacity/speed. In they case of IBM they always use a 3:1 ratio in their specs. Of course in reality it depends on the data you feed it so the ratio has always seemed odd to me but it is what it is.
