Man, it’s depressing to see make people make data compression claims that aren’t benchmarked. They end up looking like clowns, and all they do is stir up the hoi polloi. The most recent stupidity was first reported on Slashdot, referencing a blog entry titled Coolest Product at Storage Networking World (so far). Oh guess what, they backup your data with 25:1 compression.

I just want to say, hey d00dz, backup this at 25:1, and until you manage that, please STFU.

And shame on you, StorageMojo for being a chump and broadcasting this bullshit. A pox on you and your house.

Don’t even get me started on Euclid Discoveries.
