Compression Overhead?
ReadyNAS 104 with 3x2TB Seagate drives, Raid5 via X-RAID I'm wondering what the overhead of the built in compression option for shares is? Would turning it on cause a noticeable lag in read/write c...

Very well, but what IS that overhead? "Some" isn't much of an answer, lol. There's no tests that you guys have run that say for example: "on average, use of compression with /drives X from the HCL/ results in a 5% reduction in overall read performance, and a 10% in write performance on a ReadyNAS 104."?
