dataCompressionType

Specifies the method used to compress the data on the volume. The compression type is NONE by default.

  • NONE - Doesn't compress the data on the volume. NONE is the default.

  • ZSTD - Compresses the data in the volume using the Zstandard (ZSTD) compression algorithm. ZSTD compression provides a higher level of data compression and higher read throughput performance than LZ4 compression.

  • LZ4 - Compresses the data in the volume using the LZ4 compression algorithm. LZ4 compression provides a lower level of compression and higher write throughput performance than ZSTD compression.
