Abstract
A technique for performing writes in a storage system that supports data compression tests incoming writes to determine whether the amount of data to be written is less than a predetermined threshold. If so, the storage system avoids compression and stores the amount of data as received without compressing it. If not, the storage system performs compression and stores the incoming data as a compressed extent.
