Compression |
QuTS hero compresses the data in the shared folder to reduce the size of stored data. Enabling compression also reduces the total number of blocks that QuTS hero needs to read and write, increasing read and write speeds. Tip:
Compression does not impact read/write and processor performance on ZFS file systems. Only disable this setting when necessary. |
Deduplication |
QuTS hero reduces the amount of storage needed by eliminating duplicate copies of repeated data. Important:
To enable deduplication your NAS must have at least 16 GB of memory. |
SSD cache |
QuTS hero adds data from this folder to the SSD cache to improve read performance. Important:
Shared folders and LUNs created in an all-SSD storage pool cannot use the SSD cache. |
Fast clone |
Fast Clone enables QuTS hero to create copies of files faster. It also saves storage space by modifying file metadata, allowing original and copied files to share the same data blocks. Important:
|
