Abstract
The compression and decompression of files can be selectively offloaded to a hardware controller. A hardware controller, such as the controller of an SSD or other drive, can include a compression engine that is configured to implement compression techniques. A filter driver in the I/O pathway on a computing device may be configured to intercept an application's attempt to write a file to or read a file from the SSD or other drive and to selectively offload compression or decompression of the file to a compression engine on the SSD or other drive.
