not enough for you ? We have monthly data to save between 9 and 16GB, whenever data structure changes an additional 30-40GB plus some special tasks always landing in the GB range and sometimes in need of sending back over the net. The 10-20% compression advantage can be felt if you push multi-GB data over HTTPS.
