A storage device or storage system includes a transient compression layer that is established based on a level of finishedness of the capacity of the storage device or storage system. Data may be compressed and written to the transient compression layer until the capacity is sufficiently finished, after which the compressed data may be destaged and written to the capacity. The transient compression layer may be established on a hard disc media of the storage system or in a SSD of the storage system.
