Abstract
An information handling system includes a compression client, a memory, and a SDXI hardware module. The compression client issues a compression request for a block of data that is uncompressed. The memory has multiple storage locations identified by addresses, which include a source address and a destination address. The SDXI hardware module performs compression of the block of data to create compressed data of the block of data. The SDXI hardware module determines whether an amount of the compression of the block of data is less than a threshold amount of compression. In response to the amount of the compression being less than the threshold amount of compression, the SDXI hardware module disregards the compressed data of the block of data, and utilizes the uncompressed block of data in a source address. The SDXI hardware module updates metadata for the block of data to indicate that data returned to compression client is uncompressed.
