Content
In some embodiments, the storage driver may be configured to recognize zero blocks as they are being written and instead “clear” their contents, effectively compressing the zero blocks. The zero blocks may not be transferred to the storage device, further reducing workload. Identifying blocks that are not all zeros is a relatively low overhead operation.
