Abstract
A method includes, in a data storage device, determining an estimated compression ratio. The estimated compression ratio is based on hash values of a subset of a data set. The method includes selectively processing the data set based on the estimated compression ratio prior to storage of data associated with the data set in a memory of the data storage device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- in a data storage device, performing:
- determining an estimated compression ratio, wherein the estimated compression ratio is based on hash values of a subset of a data set;
- and
- processing the data set prior to storage of data associated with the data set in a memory of the data storage device, wherein the processing is determined based on the estimated compression ratio.

A data storage device comprising:
- a memory configured to store a data set, the data set including a first plurality of data elements;
- and
- processing hardware configured to:
- determine an estimated compression ratio associated with the data set based on hash values of a subset of the data set;
- and
- selectively process the data set based on the estimated compression ratio to produce a representation of the data set prior to storage of data associated with the data set in a the memory of the data storage device.
