Abstract
A method includes, in a data storage device, determining an estimated compression ratio. The estimated compression ratio is based on hash values of a subset of a data set. The method includes selectively processing the data set based on the estimated compression ratio prior to storage of data associated with the data set in a memory of the data storage device.
