One of the crazier ratios I saw with our pure was a 2tb file server we had. It was mixed content, images, docs, zip files, PDFs. For a brief time I had it on the same volume as its redundant partner. So, two 2tb vmdk files, both 90% full, but the same data on each.

Actual volume size on storage was about 210gb.

At these crazy compression ratios, does that negatively affect read and write speeds? Does it matter if you're accessing 'sequential' blocks or a lot of different small files.

Also: how do things like filesystem indexing work when the underlying block storage is nothing at all like the logical filesystem or even filesystems that regularly attempt to defrag themselves.

I'm a little jealous of people who get to play with cool/large storage poo poo. Feel like that's easily my biggest technical blind spot. Somehow all of my jobs have been one of

1) No major storage needs beyond like a Synology NAS
2) Boss pathologically opposed to the concept of shared storage because it's a single point of failure or other weird excuses (running critical workloads on a single host with a big rear end disk array hanging off it is better because ????????)
3) Petabytes of NetApp but there was already a dedicated and awesome storage engineer so I never really had to deal with it

These days I'm entirely working in the cloud and the only interesting aspect of storage is explaining to management how the hell they racked up a 6 figure monthly S3 bill

My companies s3 bill is 7.5 figures.
