Abstract
A method for lossy data compression, the method including receiving raw data at a storage device, receiving a request to compress flag, accessing an onboard data compression algorithm library containing various data compression algorithms respectively corresponding to lossy data compression schemes, selecting one of the data compression algorithms based on a number of parameters, running the selected data compression algorithm either online such that the raw data is compressed by the storage device when it is received, and is then stored on the storage device as compressed data, or offline such that the raw data is stored at the storage device, is later compressed by the storage device according to the selected data compression algorithm, and is resaved at the storage device as compressed data.
