Abstract
A data transfer device and method include obtaining a compression ratio and a compression speed of data for each of a plurality of compression levels, obtaining a compression ratio of data for each of the compression levels, adding a predicted time required for the compression and a predicted time required for the transfer of the data for each of the compression levels to determine a compression level for which the added predicted time is shortest, compressing the data to be transferred at the determined compression level and transferring the compressed to a transfer destination.
