Abstract
Example implementations relate to data chunk storage. For example, an implementation includes an apparatus that includes a processor. The processor is to receive a first data chunk from a source device and to generate a first fingerprint of the first data chunk. In response to a determination that the first fingerprint matches a second fingerprint of a second data chunk, the processor is to select a storage pool from a plurality of storage pools at a storage device to store the first data chunk based on the first data chunk and based on the second data chunk. The plurality of storage pools includes a first storage pool associated with first particular data chunks with non-colliding fingerprints and a second storage pool associated with second particular data chunks with colliding fingerprints.
