Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computer system for copying of data in a storage system between storage drives that have embedded compression. The method includes determining that a copy operation of data is required from a source drive to a target drive and determining that the source drive and the target drive use the same compression algorithm. The method includes: reading the data in a compressed form from the source drive including bypassing a decompression algorithm; transmitting the compressed data from the source drive to the target drive; and receiving and writing the compressed data at the target drive including bypassing a compression algorithm at the target drive.
