Everything about Disk compression

Automatic, disk-wide data compression

Disk compression increases the amount of information that can be stored on a disk by automatically compressing and decompressing data as it is written to and read from it. A disk compression utility is software that provides disk compression by overriding the system's file access layer so that all programs participate in compression. When a program writes a file, the utility compresses the data before storage. When a program reads a file, the utility decompresses the stored data before providing it to the program. Wikipedia →
